Knife Sharpener or Sharpening Stone

Imami:
No need la, just use the bottom of those clay bowls....
\"Use the bottom of those clay bowl\" how to? Pls advise. Many thanks in advance. -
On the base, there is a rim that is sticking out rite? Use that rim as you would a sharpening stone. I prefer a knife sharpener if I have to be the one doing it to keep the sharpened edge straight and balanced. I am a bit clumsy and have sliced off many fingernails in the past. It is hard for me to control a knife where the sharpened edge slants (due to uneven sharpening) ever so slightly. My husband likes to use the sharpening stone though.

I use this to sharpen my knives and it works well for me. I have 3 extras to let go at $5 each with postage. Please pm if interested.

I hv never sharpened a knife.
Before marriage, there was a man who came shouting \"sharpen knife , scissors\" in our neighbourhood.
After marriage, mother-in-law is in charge of the kitchen.
When I moved out n started cooking, I got a good knife which is now not sharp anymore.
I saw a stall in Jelita that offers knife sharpening svc, dunno how much.
Is sharpening knife a not easy task? -

Bringing back this topic.
I bou a sharpening stone. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes not.
Recently my right wrist hurts badly n I hv to stop meal preparation.
I noticed there is a knife sharpening svc at Jelita Shopping Centre.
I like to send my knives to a pro so that I do not need to use a lot of strength to cut meat.
Has anyone used this outlet svc? What are the fees and how many months it takes for the knife to become not sharp again?
Btw, I called the 9*****, the guy who ans the phone, said he is no longer with the company, told me to call the other number 8*****.

We’ve been hunting for something like this for ages after failing to satisfactorily sharpen our own knives at home, having bought every available gadget and gizmo that purports to guarantee a razor sharp edge. None seem to work. These guys are the real deal. Prices vary according to knife size. PS: They are not a shop, but a little stall just opposite HomeFix on level 2 of JCS.
Opening Times: 10am-7pm daily, except Wed when they are closed
