Since I started this whole thing, I thought I'd step in. First, my dad always kept my mom's kitchen knives sharp, but he died almost 6 years ago, so the knives are really dull, even though they're decent looking knives (granted, I'm not a knife expert).
Pop always used a whet-rock - is that the same as a "waterstone"? It's a very heavy like rectangular stone, and he always got it wet when he sharpened my mom's knives. I just don't know how he used it on the blades......
