Just buy a proper sharpening stone. My grandfather that's all he did and he had the sharpest knives around. But you must have decent knives to start with. Some of the cheapos out there are not made to be sharpened and do not sharpen well.

Just buy an electric knife sharpener.
It takes all of 30 seconds to sharpen a knife.

Or pick up one of these from Lowes or Amazon for 10 bucks and save the counter space. Also sharpens scissors perfectly.

Maybe I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I've never sharpened a knife in my life. If I'm too lazy to do it myself, where does one go to sharpen knives?

Didn't you say you were a Boy Scout? Did they at least teach you how to tie knots?

If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot.

Trump caved.

The government will reopen for 3 weeks. He got no money for the wall.

Nancy Pelosi should be commended for outplaying him at every turn. THIS is why the right always attacks her: she's damn effective.

Yeah, no.

"Trump ended his White House Rose Garden remarks by noting that if the Congress does not reach a deal by Feb. 15, the government will shut down again or he will use the executive authority for a declaration of a national emergency to build the wall'"

He'll get the wall one way or another.
