There's a lot of different ways to sharpen a knife, 
so to learn more about the different options, I'm here with the queen of knives, 
Maureen at the King of Knives to talk through the
different options that are available and
then the different price points and so forth.
Maureen, I can see you've got
from electrics, diamonds, ceramic, stones
where do I start? I get asked probably
forty times a day Luke.
I've got blunt knives at home, I'm so sick at them what can I do? I say, well you need to get a good sharpener onto them.
And then it comes down to price point.
Quality of your original knives, are they top of the range German or Japanese knives?
You wouldn't put a cheap sharpener onto them.
We have cheaper range of sharpeners for people that are in flats, Uni students.
You know
So, it just depends what they want to spend and what sort of knives they have. So usually I start at something like a pull through.
Which is a simple mechanism, just put it on the bench, pull it through like that. Pull the knife through.
Done in ten minutes. Yes great!
Or you can go to something like a stone. So if you want to get a stone, one of these stones.
And the different grits of stone. Yeh the different grits of stone. Depends on what you want, very fine, coarse
It's why we have the range. Fine for the Japanese knives.
Japanese knives, you really can only put 
stones onto them, or you want to go to the full Monty
and get the electric up the top
Now if electric sharpeners are just sensational, I've got one at home myself.
I wouldn't put it on my knives unless they are fantastic and I've top of the range Japanese knives.
Well I have!
The're the best knives! You can have any knife in the store! I can take them all home.
Thank you Maureen, that's very helpful getting an overall view about
the different styles and options available.
Can I just say one more thing? Please do. If you have knives at home and they are not sharp,
you are just spending more time in the kitchen than you have to spend. Yes!
And you will find cooking more enjoyable
If you want to stay in a good mood, when you're cooking food, use a sharp knife.
And don't keep your Husband near you.
