My wife's grandfather and two uncles come up to the Tex-Mex border this time of year to sell sacks, garlic, and other things. They are leaving back to their hometown in a few days after being on the border for two months. We went across into Mexico and took some bbq goodies to have a family get together before they leave. I took my DMT dual sided sharpender. I sharpened up two kitchen knifes they had and a Case sod buster that one of her uncles has. They usually sharpen their knives with a file or riverbed rocks they get by a dried up riverbed by their home. They were very impressed with how sharp I got those knives. I showed them the best I could how to do it and get a decent edge. I ended up giving them my DMT, it is cool how much they appreciate things like that. They really do. My buddies here are'nt impressed in the least when I sharpen up their cheap chinese knives. They are just like oh its sharp and thats it. My wifes uncle was trying to see how I did it cause he liked the way the edges came out. I know that DMT will get put to good use, cause they use knives everyday and don't know about brandnames and steels. They just know which ones work well.
