Knife Sharpener

[WhiteBassFisher]

I have always used flat stones to sharpen knives. They can get very sharp that way, but keeping the knife at the right angle for entire length of blade is tricky. It is time consuming with Arkansas stones or diamond surface flat stones.

There are many sharpeners now with a clamp to hold the blade, then slide different grit stones across the blade. The angle is adjustable. Are these styles good? If so, it there a particular brand and model recommended?

Also, if you know of a good sharpener of a different style, let me know your preference please.

I've used ceramic crock sticks for ages.

Can shave hair off my arm with just a few strokes.

I got the latest version. It has a 15° option on it https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BJV...b_b_asin_title

There is a feeling of soothing and satisfaction when you take your time to sharpen your knife on a stone, but I have recently chosen another path and absolutely do not regret it. I’ve gotten a Havalon and a couple of Benchmade knives, both of which I never have to sharpen. I only use the Havalon for skinning, but they make a filet blade as well.

I do have a Worksharp, and it is great, but I’m scared to use it on my more expensive knives. I sharpen my kitchen knives, lawnmower blades, shovels, etc with it.

Oh, I should have said I have the WS Ken Onion Edition.

I have had one of these for a few years and it works great:

Around the house or kitchen at work, I'll grab a coffee cup and use the bottom... but that only works if you have a decent edge on the blade already.

You don’t have a steel for around the house?

I purchase an Apex Model Edge Pro from 2Cool classified adds 8 or 10 years ago, slight learning curve, but has excellent results. I believe there are better options in this style available but this one serves my needs for myself and family.
