Had to hone my favorite chef’s knife last night. Again. Because my wife won’t stop putting it in the dishwasher where it bangs on everything.

Funny thing is, she had hand washed her whole life. I suspect that comes from a weird Pilipino thing I’m unaware of. But in any case, she refused the dishwasher until very recently. And the one thing I ask her not to put in there… 🙄

I think everyone should learn to use, at the least, the sharpening rod that comes with every set of kitchen knives. Keeping your tool sharp and safe is just a part of learning to cook.
