TheRedCarver Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks guys! I use my belt sander to sharpen. I also have a leather strop to keep the edge sharp. I don't have to do more that a few passes on the strop to keep it sharp for a long time, I don't think I've resharpened it on the belt sander for a few months now. I test my edges using newspaper and phonebook paper, I find it to be the most consistent and it's easy to see if there are any imperfections in the edge. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I always thought a three way would be interesting. Now that I'm 47 years old, I guess this is as good as a three way gets. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Now I'm curious and I've run across this. Lifehacker forums said this is a pretty good product. Anyone have any experience with this kind of sharpener? http://www.amazon.com/Work-Sharp-WSSA0002009-Sharpening-System/dp/B001TV02PW/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1398347978&sr=1-4&keywords=worksharp+sharpener Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Three-way stone sharpener, as in, it has three different levels of grit/grind? Coarse, medium & fine, I'm guessing? Yes, If I was saavy enough to post pics I would. They carry them at restaurant supply stores. 3 different levels of coarsness and they rotate on a base filled with oil. I test the sharpness by bending my wrist down and shaving hairs off the area. Depending on the customer I try not to test the edge over their food! lol Quote Link to comment

Anyone have any experience with this kind of sharpener? http://www.amazon.co...sharp+sharpener I've never used one configured like that. But from looking at it, the sharpener dictates the edge of the grind. I like to keep the edge that's best for the hardness of the steel and the manufacturers specs. I like to keep the angle of my edges between 24 and 32 degrees. I have a couple of Henckels that steel better at a 20 degree angle though. Once again it boils down to knife characteristics and if you're steeling at the same angle on each side. Quote Link to comment

ShawnWatson Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Aparently there are some aristocrats out there that can't appreciate a good milksteak, so I'll throw out a couple other suggestions. Everybody should own a rice cooker, it will cook your rice perfect and is easy as boiling water. Also, the only rice a person should ever eat is Jasmine and Basmatti, if you eat Uncle Bens rice are any of that parboiled crap take a lap. Also, a hefty amount of Sriracha should be applied to every food no matter what it is. The greatest dipping sauce in the world is equal parts mayo and Sriracha, if you dip pizza in this you will see the world in a different light. Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Anyone still adding oil to your pasta water so it doesn't stick? Dont it's an old wives tale. The only thing to do to the water is to salt it until it tastes like the sea and stir intermittently. I had this slapped into my head by 3 Italian chefs that I apprenticed with. Quote Link to comment

Add a little nutmeg ( not much ) black pepper. All white sauces need either white or black pepper. Omit the ricotta for grated Parmesan and voila' Alfredo sauce. 1 Quote Link to comment

Replace the Parm with some smoked Gruyere, pour over open faced turkey sammich, lightly toast under broiler. Add fried egg if desired. Best brunch ever (besides Eggs Benedict). Quote Link to comment
