New Skill!
I made the first step in a new Skill: Knife Sharpening today :)
We pretty much only have two cooking knives, a serrated bread knife, and a basic 10-inch chef's knife. We don't eat much bread or stuff like it, so the chef's knife gets used daily. The chef's knife is good, not expensive, but good, Swiss made. Dad gave me an old waterstone last time we visited, but I was hesitant about trying out knife sharpening. It seems okay though, the motions are more natural than I would've thought.
I'm sure the knife isn't as sharp as when we first got it, but it's better now, after I practiced and tried for the first time today :) I hope to get better and better over time.
