About ten years ago I obtained a pair of restaurant quality kitchen knives. The restaurant I worked for went belly-up, and I was given permission to loot the place before I was let go.
My knives are not made of crappy stainless steel, so they must be sharpened every once in a while.
I am on the lookout for a decent and CHEAP knife sharpener. So far, I have just been using the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup to hone my blades. It makes my knives super-sharp, but it takes forever.
I've seen professional knife sharpeners in various stores, but I have yet to see one that cost less than $50. I'm looking for something that will keep my knives sharp without causing me to fork out huge cash.
Help?
