@perigee Definitely. I'm a mere sharpening dilettante (I use one of those 'Lansky sharpening system' things, having good reason to have no confidence in my ability to sustain a consistent sharpening angle) but even I find it difficult to resist sharpening everything in sight once I've got myself set up. Cooking is always easier and more satisfying when your knives are really sharp.

I'd be willing to bet that you went ahead and sharpened your knives soon after posting this. It's irresistible.
