Knife Sharpener

One thing I’m not very good at it. I have tried just about everything even Lansky. What works best for you?

Elbow grease, soft/steady hand, Arkansas stones, and leather.

I like my Work Sharp. If I am in a hurry, I use a cheapo Accusharp from Academy

Yep

Elbow grease, soft/steady hand, Arkansas stones, and leather.

Lol don't which one I wore out first my elbow knife or stone. And also have one like that. Thanks

Diamond hone, or sandpaper on a pad, followed by double sided leather covered board strop, with black compound on one side and green on the finish side. Edges that can split hairs lengthwise are pretty easy to get with most knife steels..

I love my wicked edge . If I’m in a hurry I will use a work sharp .

[Razorback01]

I have 6 of my handmades that need finishing, I may do a tutorial.

I’d sure appreciate it. I had a wicked edge and just found it to be to much of a pita to use. I’m always in a hurry when I figure out my knifes isn’t sharp.

Arkansas Tri-Hone. Cant go wrong. Followed by a good leather strap. Watch videos on youtube, read directions on knife forums. With intentional practice you will grow to love it and be great at it. Then your coworkers will pay you on the side to do all of theirs. I do have an electric worksharp from 10+ years ago that will get the job done. But not as rewarding in my opinion.

Ive have used a smith sharpening kit for 15 years or so now it works pretty well for me.

Worksharp

[panhandlehunter]

Worksharp. Anything else is a waste of time. You can take any knife to shaving sharp in less than a minute. No elbow grease or soft/steady hand required.
