If you think your knives are sharp, but aren't completely sure, here's a simple test you can do to find out. Just hold a sheet of paper away from you and try slicing simple vertical strips. If the knife doesn't cut the paper, or snags as it slices through, then it's time to take them to the knife sharpener! Tip: Some grocery stores (including several large chains, depending on the location) and kitchenware stores offer free knife sharpening.

Thinking of cutting through paper gave me shivers. Kinda like the nails on a chalkboard effect.

My knife is one of my most prized possessions and I sharpen it almost every time I use it to try and keep it as sharp as it was when it was brand new. Its so sharp that I can just set it on a potato and it will slice through it without putting an pressure at all. I love my knife. I have the Henckel's Professional Series 8" Chef's Knife. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cu009/index.cfm?pkey=ccuthprb

I sharpen my knives almost every time i use them. I try not to sharpen them every time so I don't damage them.
