Just cut a tomato before/after sharpening one of the cheapo knives with my Minosharp for Global knives, and it's a large improvement Took about 15 draws through the sharpener (more than my Globals need), but it's good nonetheless!!
Thanks Jonny!

This lot are totally doing my head in
Ive tried twice to order knives....the first time they took my money, but decided not to tell me that these were out of stock and didnt know when they would be back....finally got my money back
The 2nd....still banging my head against the wall money taken, dispatch e-mail but 3 weeks sinceand nothing has arrived....the customer service (I use the term in a not so nice fashion) is non-existant, finally got a message via PayPal to say 'these are on their way' tonight....SO mad, its not the money, more the principal behind it

How have they been posted? I had a small package sent via royal fail 1st singed for on dec 28th & that didn't arrive till Thursday night.

If they got caught up in all the snow based problems it could be a while. City Link told me they'd lost a package of mine before christmas. Thankfully it arrived a day or two later!

I received 3 parcels this week, all sent on or before the 9th December. I also got 5 cards over Tuesday/Wednesday, three of which sent on or before the 20th! It's hardly freakin' Narnia!
