[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2062275, member: 91783"] I was always interested in knives even at a young age . It seemed like all the older ladies had two kitchen knives and they both were worn down from the wooden handle to 3 or 4 inch's toward the tip so they had an in ward belly in the edge . Not all of them but the most of them were Old Hickory brand knives . They would have one that had a thin but long blade and one that had a thick , maybe 1 1/2 wide, blade . I watched these older ladies use a drinking glass to keep the edges sharp in much the same way we would a steel . All of these ladies just lived simple lives they weren't poor but they weren't middle income either so they took care of what they had . Mrs. Johnson was in her 70's and told me that she had gotten her knives as a wedding gift when she was 17 . She would oil the wooden handle and it never laid in the dish water but was washed off and dried immediately . They didn't know what stainless steel kitchen knives were so they all were carbon steel . They called themselves hillbillies and said there was a difference between a hillbilly and a red neck they said they had ingenuity and figured things out for themselves and weren't angry like rednecks even back then . The men that used a safety razor instead of the straight razor would often re-sharpen the blade by rubbing it inside of a drinking glass changing them from side to side to keep an edge on both sides . They all had a folding knife seemed like that most of them were worn down from sharpening them . They almost always had a small natural whit stone that they used with water that was fine enough grained you could sharpen a straight razor on before you stropped it to put the fine edge on . Till the day my Mom went into the care home she kept her two kitchen knives sharp mostly on a water glass . If they got abused by someone , not her , then she would get my brothers or me to use a whit stone and sharpen them for her . [/QUOTE]
