That's good to know. I'll have to remember that if I lose my knife
sharpening steel that came with the kitchen knife set.
At least til then, I won't have to dump the coffee from the cup to
sharpen the blade. :-)

I happened to try a stoneware bowl instead of a coffee mug a week or so
ago and my girlfriend said her grandmother and mother used to sharpen
their knives like that all the time. Oh, and the girlfriend said the
knife worked GREAT after the sharpening, better than with the cheap
knife sharpener I normally use.

And the "sharpening steel" technically doesn't sharpen a knife, it just
"puts a edge on it" whatever the hell that means I don't exactly know.
