Make sure you sharpen it first.

I've got a set of DeGlon knives that I use a stone on once a year to really get them sharp, it's a kind of New Year's ritual, as the sacrifices during the holiday season are demanding on a good set of knifes.

A good sharpening steel is the best sharpening tool there is ... a good knife doesn't need a lot of sharpening for most household use, a touch up here and there with the steel is generally more than enough for most households, I'm guessing.

Nope, it fucks the blade.

Bought one in BKK this week and it does work, we only buy cheap knives so if it f-cks the edge no real loss

I just use a carborundum block. We order these for industrial use for in-situ machine tool sharpening, but seems to work great for kitchen / general purpose knives and blades.
