I've tried to get the fiance to stop doing this but alas.
Thankfully she has a phobia of touching the carbon knives after seeing how bummed I got when I tipped the one blade.
As for sharpening, I useonly use Norton Ceramic waterstones because I own them for woodworking tool sharpening and am comfortable using them. The thing I learned working at Fine Woodworking is that sharp is not a relative term, it is very specifically either sharp or not. Whether you daimond paste and strop, ceramic stone, sandpaper hone, or traditional whetstone your edge, as long as your technique results in sharp, you're good. I think the biggest thing that surprised me is what people classify as sharp. It varies wildly on experience.
