How often do you sharpen your kitchen knives ?

Please could you say what that is called?

I use a Chantry knife sharpener. It works well but is quite chunky so I'm tempted by the smaller similar style of sharpener used by @presta.

I found that picture on Amazon, but it's unavailable, and the last review was 13 years ago, so I assume it's long since obsolete. It's made by Kitchen Devil.

Thanks for the info @presta. I think I'll order some replacement blades for my Chantry sharpener. It does a good job and a set of replacement blades should keep it going for as long as I'm likely to need it.

I can probably get 3 new knives for that price, the ones I have are OK for what I use them for though. The oldest is from 1985 and I use it for Onions mainly (the Sabatier corrodes with the Acid in Onions) and the newer one is a bread knife and meat carver that's about 15 years old.

It's a good price and service if you've got decent knives.

That works by basically stripping a huge amount of metal off of the edge of the knife. Ok, if you don't value your knives, but will wreck a high quality knife in no time.
