Thank you all for your suggestions.

What I have done, as suggested earlier, is invested in a knife sharpener (why didn't I do this years ago) and wow, I just have to make sure I don't cut my fingers off now. It only cost £10 from Am*zon .

I hadn't realised how blunt the knives were, I knew they were not sharp, but this has made the world of difference. I have only sharpened 2 so far, and I think 3 more to go.

Many thanks

Is that a traditional steel or one of those things you drag knives through.


The latter tend to be very aggressive and take a lot of metal off. Now they are sharp you would probably be better to buy a steel too and run the knife over it a couple of times before every use. I've done that for years and my knives stay razor sharp.

That's set my teeth off just thinking about it!
