[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2536740, member: 9374"] I'm not a Tactical Operator, and I'm not a knife guru by any means. I don't want to spend hours sharpening one knife. I'm talking mostly kitchen knives, maybe a little pocket knife here and there. My nicest knife (other than the safe queens randalss made me!) is a ZT, but someday if that one needs it, I'll send it on to ZT for sharpening. I think they have a lifetime sharpening service. Anyways, most of my kitchen knives aren't great, just basic Farberware stuff I've picked up at WalMart or Target. Not worrying about serrated stuff, I think that's way over my skill level. Currently, I just spent about 30 minutes outside sharpening most of my kitchen knives with something like this: [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/ecx.images_amazon.com_images_I_41DGg4OlTvL.jpg[/img] Obviously, it's sub-optimal, but I'm looking for something that will put a nice, consistent edge on from base to tip relatively quickly. I don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks or anything, like I said, I don't have any great knives. Although I would like something that isn't going to butcher them (haha), as I intend to start looking for deals on some nice individual knives to use in the kitchen that will be great performers for many years. I've gotten into bbqing and smoking meats alot and I love to cook, so I want something good. I sliced my thumb the other day cutting some tomatoes, in large part, I think because my knife wasn't very sharp and I was in a hurry to try to get things ready for our friends who were coming for lunch. So... what's a great, quick and relatively inexpensive knife sharpener that will do a good job on my crappy mass-production knives, but will still serve well on higher-end quality kitchen knives in the future? Also open to some great deals on great knives? And maybe some good places to learn proper sharpening techniques? :D Can't believe everything you see on Google, right? [/QUOTE]
