Knife sharpeners
-
I have used Edge-maker sharpeners for a long time. Not perfect but they will put a quick edge on a blade.
For an extremely worn knife, I have a bench top belt sander with a silicon carbide belt that can remove a lot more material and restore a proper bevel to a worn blade.

samspade I have used them and they do work, if your knives are very dull it will take a while. Be patient and keep the sharpener at the same angle which is helped by the guides. If I remember right there are three slots to hold the stones for different types of knives. You might also look at a chefs choice I have read good reviews on them.

I have an early Wicked Edge (before the got so pricey) which works great
-
Besides the tru hone (out of price range,) has anyone tried those table clamp, adjustable rod sharpeners where a clamp hold the blade and the stone is attached to a rod that slides across the blade? It just looks to easy!
samspade I have them and have no issues. I have several different stones and a hard mount to a table top to keep things consistent. It takes a little bit of time but does a better, consistent job that running across a flat stone.

Thanks everyone I’ll keep and eye here for other posts.

I’ve got the Work Sharp Ken Onion Elite. Sure there are better out there but this gives me crazy sharp edge easily.

Chef’s Choice Model 15 Trizor XV Knife Sharpener
Item # TRIZORXV15
This is what I purchased this year to replace my old 30 year old sharpener. I’m rather happy with it. -
samspade We just shot a video last week that Patrick is editing now that is a comparison/information on sharpeners and what angle to p[ut on what knife. The sharpeners we covered were the |Swiss-Sharp-Handheld-Sharpener , the Diamon steels, a Lanksy system (what you were talking about just without the stand that lets you flip it) an |IM200-Norton-Multi-Oil-Stone and the Tru-hone. All in all the Lansky system seemed okay if you dont want to learn how to use a stone. It is probably better now with the ability to reverse but I am now a proponent of the Stones…though nothig beats the Tru-hone

Jonathon I have a question on sharpeners as some knives that people use are only sharpened on one side depending on the make of the item I know that a quality knife will be shaped on both sides

Jonathon Once you use a Tru Hone you wonder why you didn’t buy one years ago.

Thanks Jonathan I was listening to a podcast on thurs. You mentioned the laskey but i must missed where you used it. I agree after watching the tru hone is hands down best. I have never spent big money on knives so a quick easy and fun system intrigued me. If I had a good set I would certainly send them in for sharpening.

samspade I have had a Lansky system for a long, long, long time now. It works real good as long as you keep the blade maintained & I use it for my finer blades & not so much for everyday kitchen blades like the Chef & Paring. The biggest down side to them, at least to me is that I used to be able to find replacement sticks locally (see & feel what I was getting) & now have to do everything via mail order/Internet. On the other hand, I suppose we are all getting used to that now.
