I've been pondering replacing my bread knife for a couple of years.
They are just such an arse to sharpen.
I remember how amazing it was when new and have no idea how to retain that level of edge. Getting a new one would work (hello Victorinox wooden handle) but just seems so wasteful of a totally fine, but not razor sharp, piece of (Lakeland) Damascus steel.
Having the v.nox pastry (plastic handle) does make it hard to recommend anything else, I've even though to buy the rosewood just for the sake of it, also very easy to sharpen. Keep the blunt one for erm those blunt things -

What to do?
