They're not falling apart at all. The blades are like mega steel and the wooden handles are fine. I reckon I'll be able to find a pro sharpener in Nashville (?)....
Sorry for my ignorance, but is honing what one does with that round metal thing that comes with most knife sets? The one with the handle?
And we don't have a good paring knife anymore - can't find it anywhere! We do paring with the bigger knives, which is extremely awkward, to say the least. Thank God for potato peelers, I must say.
