Ok Bob - would you mind divulging your knife sharpening secrets??. I get my knives pretty sharp but nothing like that. What exactly are you using?
Is that an expensive knife?

I doled out some good coin for a sharpener (about $80) and with some
practice I got good at using it. As for that knife? No it's not too
spendy at all. Ti-Lite by Cold Steel. A more expensive knife
has the ability to hold that sharp edge for longer,,,, but any
knife can be made that sharp. A cheap knife sharpens fast but
dulls quickly.A good knife takes longer to sharpen but because
of the quality and hardness of the steel it will hold the edge longer.

For me, that sharpener was money well spent. If I only
had one or two knives, and they really only needed to be
touched up once a year, I wouldn't spend that much.
You could get them done at a knife store for like four bucks.
