Some time ago, I took a cooking class where the instructor recommended
this sharpener. http://store.candochefs.com/jifknifandsc.html
I got mine at Home Depot for about $6.00 and use it all the time.
Occasionally, I have my husband use the steel on my knives, but for but
everyday upkeep, this little gadget works great!
