I'll have that information in mind the next time I try to sharpen the knives. Last time I tried, I think I made the blades even more blunt then it already were.

Have that information stamped on a blade.
As a wannabe author, I could only be so lucky to get my work "pirated". Free publicity.
Nice nick name.
That is a fair criticism. I respect it.
I'm not subtracting my own empathy towards those people by choosing to denounce their aggressors through harsh words. I'm throwing vitriole towards their aggressors.
I understood you were referring to regular blades.
My respect for caring for your knives as you do. It's something I find challenging, to say the least.
I have to look up for those Thai Zebra. Never heard of it before. I usually buy domestic knives (IVO); we still have a few good manufacturers but I don't know if they export enough to be widespread.
It may be considered as such today but it panned as not worthy of the time for many years.
The 13th Warrior was another of those movies that got thrown into the grinder by critics and cinephiles for being not worth the effort just to develop a cult following in response.
Which remebers me of another panned movie: Pathfinder
And while we're at it, let's add both Dredd movies (the second is the best) and the Demolition Man.
It got a reaction out of you because if the way it is phrased, didn't it? That was the objective.
Sadly enough, those who triggered this disaster think in these same terms. And look where it has led.
No mandatory service of any kind, full stop.
If there is something that needs to be widely known by the population, you make it part of the daily life, introduce it at school curriculum, run low profile campaigns that steadily grow awareness and make access to developing such knowledge/skills easy to all.
I can think of the example of learning how to use a defibrilator, which has become a standard for any person graduating highschool in my country. Stupidly enough, if I want to learn that exact same skill, today, I have to pay a hefty sum, in a country where lack of preparation to give immediate aid to someone in need has been identified as a serious problem.
It wasn't that many years ago that a think tank proposed the reinstatement of conscription as a means to reestablish and ingrain notions of patriotism, sense of duty and honor into its population. This was the general sense of the "findings" of such work group.
This is extremely dangerous reasoning to have to argue in favor of military service enforced on a population. To call it badly veilled fascism is being polite.
Basic trainning takes little time. Handling a gun is easy; it's a very complex machine made simple enough to be handled by a dunce. It also takes very little time to drum in basic notions of rank and role.
Specialization can only take place after that basic training, which serves the purpose to caracterize the individual inside the group, their capabilities and motivation.
If an individual volunteers, usually the motivation is already high. A conscript, not very much.
A country belongs to its people. The notion is too often reversed, which leads to very bad outcomes.
My country had mandatory military service - let's call what it was - conscription, up to 2004/06 and it only served to fill the heads of young boys with dung.
Volunteer, professional, well trained, well equiped, armed and prepared effectives are the backbone of what modern armed forces are, not quickly churned out cannon fodder.

I have one and use it but I use my knives daily and use them well, as I carve my own meat cuts, prepare vegetables, fruits, etc.
For someone that enjoys cooking, I am aware I am lacking on the knives upkeep department. Sharpening by hand always fails me and my only mildly successful atempt involved using a belt sander on a moderate speed to try to emulate a grinding stone.
