Anyway, I'm thinking of how I use knives, and I haven't used my paring knife in two years. The only use I can think of for a paring knife is for taking the skin off apple slices for pie. But I know people really adore their paring knives, so I'm wondering what they do differently than I...
I don't own a serrated knife, much less an offset serrated bread knife. If I had to cut bread, I'd definitely get one, but I rarely make bread or buy uncut bread. I think it would be nice to have a serrated knife for cutting watermelon, but I don't know for sure... What else do you do with your serrated knife?
And is it easy to learn how to use a sharpening steel? I'm with you totally on the need for good sharp knives, but I've always heard that knife-sharpening is something that people usually do wrong...

What do you use the knives for?
