Based on the wonderful discussion we had on my gumbo post, I'd figure I ought to do another post in a similar fashion.
It seems that many dramatards completely lack any semblance of knowledge when it comes to the kitchen.
Keeping your knives sharp is a necessity if you plan on cooking anything at home.
For 150 dollars, you can have a great knife, and everything you need to take care of it.
I'm willing to give knife advice to anyone who asks. I feel it's my duty to educate dramatards on (arguably) useful life skills.
Also, unrelated, but wtf is shave butter? I got a walmart online order, and they ran out of the brand of shaving cream I bought. Rather than swapping the brand of the product, they gave me their shaving butter. They were also out of Sam's Purified Drinking Water

I've got a King 1000/6000 that I use to keep my pocket knife and kitchen knives sharp. Also a really basic leather strop I got online.
Honestly I probably should upgrade the stone and the strop but it's really been enough for my needs so far. When they wear down maybe I'll get something fancier, but it's hard to justify replacing something that already works.
I don't know what shave butter is, I just get a nice soap lather going and use that. I should probably get some shaving-specific soap but I'm a little too enamored with my adorable little rounds of Hermes scented soap.
