http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=308798 I got a chuckle from all of that. But I sharpen similar to your wife and I am just a white boy and my Granddaddy always had dull knives!
I learned watching Youtube. Now my friends think I have God given sharpening ability which makes me laugh!
Your wife is better than me though. I can't get a knife really sharp on one of those two sided silicon carbide stones from the hardware store. I have to finish it on my Arkansas Stones to get where I want to be. Sounds like a new challenge! IIRC silicon carbide is pretty close to diamond in its ability to cut hardened material so that is why it works on almost any steel, and it is cheap.
