Keep Your Knives Sharp
We keep all of our knives for cutting, peeling, filleting, and other uses in a butcher block style holder. They stay very sharp all the time. The trick to this is once they are used they are immediately washed and dried off and replaced in the holder. So, if you are tired of having a dull knife try this and see how much sharper they stay

I put mine in the dishwasher and I have ruined so many knives that way. Great point!

Also by storing your knives in blocks with the cutting side up they will stay sharper by not dragging the blade on the wood over and over again. That's why many blocks now have the knives go in sideways.

Sharpening Knives
For a quick touch up on your knives, vigorously rub the blade on a green scratch pad, such as the Scotch brand. An old one will do. You will be surprised at the edge it will put on your knives.
