Best sharpening system ever ;)

If you're not using a Disney knife sharpener then you're not really sharpening your knives. lol

This is a real product that the Disney Company marketed back in the 50s and 60s.

My dad had basically an automatic grinding version of these, it was dedicated and electronic. The noise that thing made still sends shivers up my spine and it absolutely butchered the edge.

I'm wondering if this sort of thing is essentially the same as the built-in 'sharpeners' on electric can openers, with rotating abrasive wheels doing the 'sharpening work'. I remember my mother using one of those in the kitchen when I was young. And the reaction I had to the noise generated was exactly the same. Made me cringe, thinking what it was doing to knife edges. And I knew nothing about sharpening back then - it just sounded so wrong.

Oh, yes. Every electric can opener had a knife sharpener on the back of it.

But like you we also had a dedicated electric knife eater. To be fair, the knives came out sharper than they were after my little brother had been digging in the garden with them. All the kitchen knives were deeply bellied from that thing.

This reminds me of a great story from my youth. Age 18, I was thrown into a small county jail. Come lunch time the 'trustee', the only other person in the jail brought me a grinding stone out of the kitchen can opener. Unsure what to do with it I grabbed a book off the shelf, the Holy Bible, and used the stone to carve out a hiding pocket in the center of the book. I flushed the removed paper down the toilet. I figured some later prisoner might 'find his salvation' in that book. lol

I was bailed out 5 hours after I went in and beat the charges in court.

Soooo… that explains the increase in number of jailbreaks after inmate religious conversions! Had me scratching my head.
