Okay, here's an idea for yah.
Ever notice how your knives are so dull you'd be lucky to be able to produce a paper cut with one of them? Used to be I'd get out a butter knife before I'd reach for the cutlery! Until I found one of these babies. Now I fear using my knives they are so sharp!

On sale for about 20 bucks, get one of these systems and you'll be able to sharpen up those knives yourself in just a couple of minutes.
I've got a similar system, but it is able to sharpen a lot of different style blades, including axes and mower blades. While I still hack at it with a whetstone from time to time, this system allows me to get the job done in a hurry and move on to more important stuff!
Get one and you'll never regret it!
