    Knife sharpener. I use a combination of a steel for a quick re-touch and I have a nice set of sharpening hones so I can recut a blade and sharpen to whatever angle I want. Also have a lite diamong stone for doing small knives. I hate blunt knives

    Talking of corscrews, anybody tried one of these lever action ones?



    I have a cheap version, cost £20 and its great. There's warnings that they dont open synthetic corks, but its managed everything I've chucked at it. Especially good when your a bit sozzled

    Mine is my "big scary knife"
    It's not really big, not really scary... but it is a knife...

    a nice serrated one... as long as a knife cuts tomatoes properly then I'll use it.

    The two women in the household....

    Or maybe my Samurai sword - there's nothing quite like halving large fruit and veg. to relieve stress and thereby make the household a safer place to live!

    Seriously though - either this little super-sharp knife, or a potato peeler - I actually love peeling potatoes, don't ask me why!
