   	Yeah, I don't understand this at all :-) :-) :-)   
      
   	The butchers I've known sharpened on a stone or wheel and used   
   a smooth steel or a chantry for the constant touch ups.  I hate the edge   
   a coarse steel gives and spend a lot of time polishing the edges on my   
   cooking knives, especially the slicing and boning knives.  But even my big   
   chef's knives have a fine edge.  I find that a toothy edge tears up fine   
   work...   
      
   	Not crticizing, understand.
