Knife Sharpening

[Hoshneer]

I know some of you are into knives and I have a question for you. I finally broke down and bought a good decent workhorse knife, it is a Buck 110. I bought it because as soon as I saw it I realized it was my dad's favorite knife and it had lasted him for years. I have been using a cheap kitchen blade sharpener for it and it has been working well. I want to buy another good sharpening tool though and I am looking for suggestions. I want something that will get it nice and razor sharp.

This is the one I use and I swear by it. It puts the perfect edge on your knife. Wicked Edge Precision Sharpener Knife Sharpening System WE100.

x2 on the Wicked Edge. And man can you drop some $s on extra stones. It gets addicting.

Holy shite! It's over $200! How about a more economical beginners version.. Hahaha!

I've been using the Wusthof Precision Edge 2 Stage Knife Sharpener for years and in my opinion it does a great job. Very easy to use and does a consistent job every time and it's $20.

I use a Spyderco sharpmaker...works pretty well

all you need to put a good edge on a knife is medium and fine grit stone and some practice/skill. for a good begginers set up i recommend Lansky sharpening system.

+1, I am no expert in this and do not know if there is a better way to sharpening a nice knife, but I used to work with a guy who would use a three sided sharpening stone system, like a triange with fine, medium, and coarse stones on each side. Showed me how to use it and even though I was never as good at it as he was, it seemed to work fine for our work knifes.

+1 but I'm cheap and only have the 3 stone set. can be had for under $30. $20 on sale.

A friend of mine showed me how to keep my knives sharpened...for free. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread750574/pg1

Been doing this for years and it's just as good as those units that cost a $100 or more.
