<p>Good luck on your search for the knives.</p>
<p>I've found my needs change over the years. I started with a Swiss Army Knife in 1973!</p>

<p>Thanks for the vote of confidence Dale I am really looking forward to trying that steel. I guess I have spent enough time and money on the subject of sharpening now to cope with it. Pretty sure diamond will be needed though I have a couple of Belgian stones that could well handle the job. I was looking at my box of stones the other day and there must be £1200/1500 invested there. Amazing how far down that rabbit hole you can go.</p>
