Can you sharpen a knife?

I have to be able to sharpen a knife. When I got a sample of the granite I used for the kitchen, I had to pay a $10 deposit on the 18"x18" piece. Unfortunately, I got paint on the back of it, so I figured I couldn't return it. Besides, it's a 35-40 minute drive each way to the place I got it.

So, I now have a granite cutting board. Works great as a cutting board - easy to sanitize. Easy to clean. Hell on the edges of knives. So, every time I use a knife on the cutting board, I sharpen it.
 
1000/3000 japanese wetstone and a canvas/leather strop for my kitchen knives and/or straight razor.

The methodical motion and sound is soothing, especially when you do it just right and the blade rings.
 
I have a knife sharpening obsession, so yes. They can't possibly be sharp enough, ever!

Not until I can see my reflection in it, if I see one little tiny micro serration in the blade off I go. All my knives are scary sharp.

Any knife you buy in the store is generally dull when you buy it.
 
When I was a teen my best friend's Dad had a two sided oil stone that was like 2 1/2" X 12" now you never see anything that big. That was so nice for sharpening.
 
Yup, I use a good old fashion Arkansas whetstone when I want to really put a nice edge on it. For in between I use a quality ceramic setup purchased from Spyderco.
