Two comments: 1. Merle Ellis' book "The Butcher" (?) (it is a widely available paperback) has much good information on knives that simply expands on the previous article. 2. I do disagree about sharpening carbon steel knives; it is a skill, but not an unlearnable one. Knives do get dull and a dull knife is far more dangerous than a sharp one because it will slip and turn instead of cutting. And USE THAT STEEL. Charles
