' ; 5o says furiey A. crandeii, an authority on the subject of Knives and how to keep 'em 6harp. But he says it can be made easy if we take a tip from the barber and butcher who depend on sharp knives for a living. : This may account 1 for the fact that knife-sharpening is considered a. task only for the professional. I The best method, say Crandell, is -the old-fashioned . whetting operation, despite all i the knife sharpening gadgets yet devised. He demonstrates a new silicone carbide sharpening stone, li is used on a knife blade in the man ner of whittling on a stick. The wood-backed stone is pad dled across the blade of the knife in a whetting motion with the right hand, while holding the knife with the left. The operation is repeated on the other side of the blade by changing hands with tools. Two or three whettings and the job is done. j : Crandell says when a dull knife is- sharpened with trie stoneUiny serrations invisible to the eye" are returned to their normal- straight position, putting a keen edge on the blade. " The habit of sharpening cutlery once a week or even once a month sives 'greater satisfaction when there are meat-carving jobs to do. Layered Dish ; .
