[QUOTE="excat, post: 2536784, member: 29449"] It's all about the angle of the dangle!! lol Different knives have different angles on the blade. Kitchen knives have a very sharp angle, along with skinning knives (why they have to have the edge touched up more frequently). Your general EDC knives will have a fatter cutting surface (less angle) to allow it to take more daily abuse between touch up's. The closer to a sharp angle you get, the closer to "razor" edges you get. That being said, a Lansky sharpener is pretty easy to work with, and gives you the different angle options something like this: [url]http://www.casa.com/p/lansky-deluxe-5-hone-sharpening-system-573802?site=CA&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc_C&utm_campaign=GooglePLA&utm_content=pla&ca_sku=FPS-74069&ca_gpa=pla&ca_kw=&CAWELAID=1468251026[/url] I do all my knives by hand, though I do have a Lansky kit like this my father handed down to me. I mainly use it to repair a blade when it has had trauma to it, or fix an angle, or change the factory angle of a new knife, etc, the maintain them by hand with my diamond, whetstone, and steel. This isn't the "fastest" approach to sharpening a knife, but it is one of the most accurate ways of doing so. I don't like the "auto" or "easy" sharpeners, they will wear a blade down quickly in my opinion due to over sharpening. [/QUOTE]
