   If the buggers knew how to look after a blade that would make my life a   
   little easier ;-)   
      
   I came across a Chef that didn't know how to put an edge on a blade, he   
   thought that using a steel would sharpen a blade.   
      
   When I got his pride and joy, I showed him how blunt it was by squeezing   
   the blade in my fist as hard as I could.  Dented the skin, no cut.   
      
   I sharpened it with a 20 degree kitchen service edge, there was no way I   
   was going to do the grip test again ;-)   
      
   He was happy, I advised him to learn how to sharpen knives.   
      
      
   Regards Charles
