My husband recently bought a Spyderco Sharpmaker (http://spydercosharpmaker.org) and he taught me how to use it. It's actually very easy and the results are outstanding. You may need to see a professional to recondition an old knife, but sharpening your own steel isn't as hard as it used to be with systems like the sharpmaker.

Don't be embarrassed. There are plenty of good knives out there that don't cost a fortune. Believe it or not, one of my favorite knives is a cleaver that I got in Chinatown here in Boston for like five bucks. I keep it sharp, and it has an edge like a piece of paper. So there's a few things about knife sharpening. If you haven't sharpened them in a while, you might want to get them done at a kitchen shop in your area. Once you do get them sharpened, get a steel (one of those long metal rods with a handle), and use it to keep the edge nice and crisp after you use your knife. KitchenArts, one of my favorite kitchen stores in Boston, does a really good job educating folks about knife sharpening. Here, take a peek: http://www.cobrandit.com/kitchenarts/2007/06/how_to_use_a_sharpening_steel.html If you can't find a place in your area to sharpen your knives, KitchenArts does do them by mail. I know the owner and he's a really nice guy. Hope that helps. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. +Jessie Oh, gosh. Don’t be embarrassed.

I have one set that I got cheap at Tues. Morning so I have no idea what the quality is, but I liked the weight the knives have. (I just don't want to be embarrassed taking my cheapo knives to get sharpened) :) Thanks I was wondering if you could tell me how to get knives sharpened. I have one set that I got cheap at Tues.

You can get one from Bialetti (http://www.bialettishop.com/DamaPinkMain.htm) or from Sur La Table (search for Pink Dama Stovetop Espresso Maker). They're about $40. +Jessie Juliet–I didn’t see the espresso pot in pink, but they do make one.

I was hoping that since it's Bialetti they'd have my little espresso maker in pink, but alas they did not. I saw the pink display at Target last week – so cute!
