Good Eatin': A Thorough, Not-to-Say Obsessive, Intro to Knife Sharpening

"Knife sharpening is not difficult. It is not shrouded in mystery. With a little

Or, if you decide to send them out, you’ll know how to make sure you’re getting what you want – and what you pay for." -- from the website of the eGullet Culinary Institute.

It enables us to decipher our genes and fight viruses, and to understand Earth's fossil record and rich biodiversity. Simple yet at times controversial, misunderstood and misused for social goals, the theory remains unchallenged as the central concept of biology. Charles Darwin, reluctant revolutionary, profoundly altered our view of the natural world and our place in it." -- from the website. <
