Dolores –
I used to buy cheap knives and throw them away when they got dull because I could not sharpen, despite all my efforts. Then I found the Jende Book of Sharpening. It answered all my questions and was so easy to follow with all the pictures. It just made complete sense suddenly. Now I don’t throw away my knives! Now I just need to improve my reeds. 🙂
