True, I don't mind touching up an edge for a fellow once in a while, but it gets old really fast when you are doing it constantly for the same people. Usually when I offer to show someone how to do it they usually turn me down. They probably know how to do it just fine but would rather watch me do it. LOL Maybe I am the dumb one. Along with a knife I always carry a sharpener. Therein may lie my problem, as I should keep that a secret. As for kitchen knives, they are a bird of a different colour. I enjoy sharpening them for other people because they usually use them to cook me something tasty right after.
