Whilicks with garlic butter

Over here we call them whilicks, often pronounced 'whileeks'. These are the common periwinkle, a sea snail commonly found around our coast, and they taste very nice.

Simply boil them for a few minutes then add them to some garlic butter

Get a needle or toothpick, hoke them out of the shell and eat, quite delicious.

Ceramic rod sharpener

I've found over the years that people often sharpen the entire bevel of their knife when all they rwally need to do is refine the very edge.

I often do this with a ceramic rod.

They can be brittle but the heftier the rod the more resilient it is, so..

I found one that should last a while

Not exactly packable but it certainly helps realign the edge on your knife quickly rather than spend time removing metal that doesn't need removed.
