| - For the past few days, I've had a knife riding around in the back of our car. Not a switchblade, not an Exacto blade, but an honest-to-god Wustof Chef's knife. It's not the best kitchen knife out there, and it pales in comparison to the Shun knives in our kitchen. But when I wield that shiny steel and say "auf Wiedersehen" to my college-era Miracle Blades, I turn into Iron Chef Stina-san!
The problem? After a year or so of neglect, it was dull. Dangerously dull. Mr. G gave me the tip that Wisconsin Cutlery was the place to go! So I diligently wrapped my knife in layers of newspaper and finally got around to delivering it to the sharpener's steady hands. He's got a behemoth 36-inch grinding wheel and, in a matter of two or three minutes, my Wustof was good as new! The best part? It only cost me $3. Really? Pay $3 so I don't chop my fingertips off again? Deal.
Don't be a rookie like me, however, and ask to charge it. They do accept debit/credit cards, but it's a small business and those fees add up. Bring three bucks and you'll be good to go! There seems to be a great selection of other kitchen supplies, but I didn't take much time to dilly dally in the store today. I had to get home and get choppin'. Next time!
