    Dr_Pain Just used my tru hone this morning to sharpen all my knives, it is so simple to use and really puts a great edge on the knives. I would recommend this to anyone who does processing. May be if you are in a group share the cost it is definitely worth it if you use your knives a lot.

      I think the tru hone is one of those tools that I would actually consider doing a group purchase for.
      Once a knife has an edge on it, I don’t find myself needing that degree of sharpening all that often.
      A tru-hone is light and small enough that you could even ship it to others in the collective without breaking the bank.

      Hmm. I would be in if some others were up for it.

                  Tex_77 Let us know how the vac sealer works. Always nice to upgrade but this sight is like when you buy a new computer, don’t look for a long time because they keep improving so fast. My problem is I can’t stop looking.

                    bocephus I’ve been using the Walton’s Fresh Vac Sealer pretty regularly lately, and I have had no issues with it, and it has done a great job.

                      Editing to add the Meater+ wireless thermometer. Would highly recommend this if you are doing any sort of rotisserie cooking.

                          Santa whispered in my ear that I am getting a Meater+ for Christmas.
                          Can’t wait to try it out.

                                      Tex_77 Great posts, but I think you are an undercover salesman for Walton’s, are you getting a commission? At this rate I will have one of everything and two of others. Keep up the good reviews.
