you are correct, the problem is if you plugged one end into mains that were energized the other end would be live. That can be exciting.
Who else besides the UK uses fused plugs?
Interesting, I have never seen those before. Thanks
I don’t know what kind of sharpener you are talking about. I use regular whetstones. I have some diamond stones that were a gift, they only get used on cold chisels and knives from the flea market to re profile them.
I had a partner who loved Victorinox, we are not together any longer so I don’t have to sharpen them. As I said, they are uncomfortable in my hands, and I find the steel sub par. A Zebra is usually 1/4 the price and better quality.

It also let’s you install a fake icon for some normal looking app like Threema. When you tap the app it factory resets the phone.

It takes practice, but isn’t hard to learn. You can do it. I find it very satisfying and relaxing. Using a steel often will mean your knives need to be sharpened less frequently too.
That should sharpen quite easily. It is towards the softer side of stainless (inox) steels, I very much like them. They are easy to work with, durable, don’t discolor vegetables.

Reddit ain’t going anywhere fast.
If r/selfhosted has to rely on reddit as it can’t be fucked selfhosting, what chance do other subs have.
I have found Lemmy selfhosted communities excellent, they are not a large as Reddit but there are plenty knowledgeable people, often seflhosting their own little reddit.

Zebra brand can often be found in Asian markets.
I am unfamiliar with IVO, they look similar, though I could not find what type of steel they use.
I meant their regular knives, not serrated ones. I sharpen all my knives and straight razors as well. I find Victorinox difficult.
Serrated bread knives are usually only sharpened on one side, the other side is flat. You can do what is called ‘back sharpening’ where you lightly sharpen the flat side.
In any case when someone wants an inexpensive knife recommendation I say the Thai Zebra brand, much cheaper and better quality.

The ones with the Fibrox handles I find very uncomfortable, they do not fit my hand at all. Not so much of an issue with a bread knife, but I really don’t like sharpening their blend of steel.

I really enjoy quite a bit of the Guardians coverage. Their staff editorial department is often infuriating to the point I often wonder if they actually work for a different news agency.
