Coffe mug sharpening anybody?

[mnblade]

The heck with stones, just go get a soup bowl or two at IKEA! Then you have a dual use item; eat your chill out of it, then sharpen your knife.

What time should we be there? I'll bring the beer!

That will go well with the Swedish meatballs they have in the cafeteria!:thumb up: Great lunch at IKEA; beer, meatballs, and soup bowls for knife sharpening!!!

I've done it. It works well. Beware that the mug you choose has no defects on the bottom. You want a smooth exposed and un-glazed ceramic ring on the bottom.

It works and very easy to do.

I use a mug to touch up friends' kitchen knives when I'm visiting. Personally I haven't been able to get them to a point where I can move on to stropping with any appreciable result, but it gives them a functional edge for most kitchen duties at least.

every 'Deli Counter' clerk sharpened his knives by holding them flat against the inside curve of a 1gal ceramic pickle jug and running the blade around the jar.'

My thrifty Grandad sharpened his safety razors this way on inside of a coffee cup.
I turned out all the more thrifty & just dont shave.

Btw, I use porcelin tubes from 'knob-n-tube' wiring.
