Slice ‘n Save Provides Savings for Customers and Allows Retailers to Increase Sales

interesting, might give this a try

Pete, no better edge than one from a stone- but most today aren't being trained to use one-
many stores have a sharpening service for thier knives

I prefer a stone-but will use sandpaper sharpeners
although, I do like these little handy sharpeners I found on ebay
they are only $1.70 each and that includes shipping
I give these away to good customers-yes, they are cheap, but surprisingly, they do work, and some stores sell them around thier meat counter for 4.99 each-pretty good profit (and they dont spoil)

here's a link

mainemeatman I used to have one of those years ago. I liked it ok but i though it wore down pretty fast. I would prefer to use the stone. the place i am at now uses the true hone machine which to me is like putting my blade between two grinding wheels. It makes me cringe every time. I think the problem isn't that they don't know how to use the stones they are just too lazy to use them.
