food stuff: sharp knives

this delightful blog called tea & cookies posted a very interesting, if detailed, post about the importance of sharp knives and how to maintain them.

i know nothing about knives and did, indeed, buy the butcher block full of knives that the author suggests NOT doing. now i know better, and you shall, too, after you read this. (oh and posted now because he talks about doing things before thanksgiving...)
