Whetstone. Even a cheap one for around £20 seems to be able to get even cheapo knives lol-worthyly sharp. Nothing worse than preparing your dinner with blunt shit. Nothing better than slicing your tomatoes ludicrouslly thin.

My understanding is that a steel hones an already sharp knife, but the whetstone actually removes material from the edge of a blade so you can turn a cheap tesco knife into a razor if you’re willing to put the effort into sanding the edge to a point. Someone can probably google the technical terms.

Finally got a garlic crusher couple of months ago. No more mincing garlic using a knife like a grade A chump

I did my lower back about 20 years ago and was in and out of physio for ages. It would flare up at least once a year and required several sessions of physio each time. I found that basic ab and core strengthening makes a real difference. I haven’t needed physio for about 5 years now.
Start by lying flat and pulling my knee to my chin, ‘hugging’ my calf and pulling it into my chest to stretch my glute (3 each side)
I then raise my bum off the floor and push up into an arch (repeat 10 times)
Then I do:
flutter kicks (60)
knees to chest (30)
crunches (30)
twice over.
Finish up with a basic plank held for 90secs

A traditional smooth honing steel is of no use if the edge is blunt, because it removes no material; instead it fixes deformations along the edge of a sharp blade , technically known as burnishing.
A steel doesn’t sharpen at all! mindblown. It just realigns the edge.
But to hell with all that, the best sharpeners are these type of things:
Drag the knife through each side five or ten times, then go fuck up some salad.
