For Christmas, my husband got all our kitchen knives sharpened.

He picked them up yesterday from the knife store.

Last night, we both cut ourselves while making dinner.

make cleaner cuts that heal quicker. And stop blaming your tools for your mistakes.

As all knives were getting bad, haven't cut myself yet but making my homemade soups is easier.

Thanks giving and you could get those done while you shopped. Then they stopped. I sure miss it. Now my husband has bought me a knife sharpener but I sure miss getting my scissors done.

Wow! What a difference!

I've had them most of my adult life, and I'm quite attached to them.
They are back to factory condition!!
