Info on the bigot Nick Adams: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Adams_(commentator)

Relevant part:

Adams opposes education regarding LGBTQ topics in schools and said that only a "bad parent" would take their children to see a drag queen show.[18] LGBTQ Nation, an online news magazine, has alleged Adam's apparent hypocrisy on this topic as he has suggested taking children to Hooters.[18]

As someone who makes knives and swords as a hobby, I can verify that many things are capable of sharpening iron. Slightly less things are capable of sharpening steel.

Know what's great at refining a dull edge to be razor sharp? Ceramic. And I have legitimately heard someone refer to ceramic safety box cutters as "woke" at work. I don't get the (il)logic of that...

So uhhhh.... Yeah. Even "softer" things will sharpen stuff.

A colleague of mine says he sharpens his knives with... leather.

I have no idea whether to believe them.

Perhaps he meant that he strops his knives? Incredibly important to do so in order to maintain their sharpness.
