[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 3761965, member: 50626"] What knives are you sharpening mostly? Pocket folders, kitchen, fixed blades camping knives, etc? I am into whetstones. Waterstones particularly. Get 3 grits, coarse, medium, and fine. Knife sharpening this way requires practice, skill, coordination, physical effort, and the ability to “feel” what you’re doing. Most people can’t or won’t mess with all that... which is why there are so many different gimmicky knife sharpening options out there. if you’re into working with your hands, I’d recommend trying out some stones. I like the brand “King” Japanese whetstones. Affordable, long lasting. Watch some YouTube videos on whetstone sharpening. if you’re just sharpening cheap kitchen knives and occasionally putting an edge on the ole buck knife any sharpening apparatus will do. If you have expensive knives, learn whetstones. It can be in depth. You’ll eventually know the characteristics of the different types of steels and use different techniques to match different blades etc. [/QUOTE]
