It must be correct.
I looked it up in the Unabridged Sarnia Real People's Word Master
Dictionary.

Not everybody in the word slangs like you do.

It's a blessing...and a curse. Sigh. What do you think 'sharpen'
means? It does not mean to make smooth. What does 'sharp' mean?
I'll save my fingers the walking and say, with respect to knives, it
means 'cuts easily'.

The J-unit said steels do not sharpen, which is an extreme example of
complete nonsense.

For once Guiseppi is correct.... in a sense. What the steel does is
not remove any material but it creates a slightly serrated edge on an
already existing edge by lightly 'bending' if you will, the otherwise
smooth edge. It creates 'tooth'. Strapping does the opposite.

Stick to words, Rico.

Knife steels do not actually sharpen knives. They have no abrasive but
rather only allign the edge again. There should be no metal come off using a
steel.

OMG! We are all good people and none of would ever steel, even facing west
or east.

Ever had an "east infection"?

Guess what the steel does to the blade if the steel carries even
a trace of a magnetic field. Prevent that by ALWAYS facing
magnetic east or magnetic west whenever steeling.

The problem is that his mental makeup has a hard wiring short somewhere.
It's impossible to counter his comments because he's unable to comprehend
logical replies.

Rough up back side of magnet with a coarse grinding wheel.

Which brings up the point that some rare-earth magnets are made of materials
(cobalt, neodymium) considered fairly toxic. If memory serves the REM I got
from Lee Valley had instructions telling me to wash my hands after handling
the magnets. So perhaps the grinding wheel thing should be reconsidered.
Lee Valley also says their steel magnet mounting cups increase the
effectiveness of their magnets by four times.

RIP George.


You beat me to it. Carlin was, I believe, one of the greats.


One of these days I'm going to spring for that complete box-set of all his
HBO specials and other TV appearances.

I especially like his 11th Commandment--Thou shall keep they religion to
thyself.

That's what I figured. You just troll Usenet looking for somebody to
disagree with and have nothing to ever back it up or add to the discussion.
When asked about your comments, you just get silly, again.
