knife sharpening help...

[Big pig]

I struggle to get mine razor sharp

I took my hard-to-sharpen “Buck” knives to ACE hardware and they sharpened with a laser sharpener in about 2 minutes.

We will see how it lasts in the field soon.

The Warthog works pretty decent with you disability it would be a good choice in my opinion. If we were closer I would volunteer to sharpen em for ya just to listen to some of your stories about cars.

Fixed blade systems such as KME, Warthog, and Edge Pro are fairly easy to learn to get a good edge with.
I prefer to use wet stones, but you have to have patience to learn free hand.

I once had to wait for 5 seconds in line to get a snow cone. This exhuasted all the patience I ever had, and explains my inability to sharpen knives.

Just realized I have already posted on this thread…
I will take lack of patience over forgetfulness…

I have a work sharp, wart hog v sharp and a wicked edge . I prefer the wicked edge .

I have the WS it works great for me, but I don't use high dollar knives. I don't know that I would use it for expensive knives.

This is the best thing I have ever bought and used to sharpen kitchen and pocket knives:



It works GREAT, and I even use it to sharpen my 2-blade German Kinetic broadheads!!!!!

Disclaimer: it will only work on 2-blade broadheads that you can remove the blade from the ferrule.

After using this machine, knives will effortlessly slice thru tomatoes, and broadheads will easily shave hair from your arms!!!

I would never put a knife in one of those.
What do ya'll do when you don't have one of these gizmos, or replacement blades for your Havalons?
Sharpening a knife is such a simple thing, I don't understand the reluctance to learn .

[bakin7005]

I've owned lots of sharpeners. This is a MUST have in the field but I sharpen everything with it at home. Best $30 you'll spend.

Well, Mr Holier Sharpener than thou, some of us can’t get it, no matter how much we try. I’m almost 61yrs old. I’ve tried dozens of gadgets and ways to sharpen knives over the years, and I just can’t get it. On the few sharpeners I have been able to figure out a little, it still takes me forever to get a really sharp blade. The electric sharpener I posted above is a dang good machine that works awesome and makes blades shaving sharp in a very short time.

So you keep doing what you do, and I’ll keep doing what I do, and we’ll all be happy.

And btw, if you read the OP, he said he was unable to use most regular sharpeners due to him having a stroke. I put forward a great option for him!!!!!

Sharp maker or Work Sharp angle set. Anyone can sharpen very sharp with these except for some steels like S90v an M4.

I just ordered another worksharp field sharpener so I can leave it at the farm.

Dull knives are a thing of my past!

I like that. Seems like a good way to learn how to free hand on stones.

Seeing how’s you have never used this, how can you pass judgement on it??? I have cheap knives, and I have some good knives. I do not have any really expensive knives. The Chefs Choice Edge Select gets all my knives very sharp!!!!

I don’t have to use it because I know how to sharpen a knife…
It’s basically a grinder…You don’t put a grinder on good knives. At least I don’t…I am sure it works great, if you don’t mind removing a bunch of metal.

[M.LUNA]

I have several of these and I use them on a variety of knives it is hands down the quickest and easiest edge I have put on multiple knives. Combined with the leather strap after a few passes you can cut air with your knife. I keep one in my hunting pack.

[lockout]

I am certainly not an expert but I have been able to get a sharp edge on my knives using a KME knife sharpener. I also use it on my broadheads.

KME makes a quality sharpener.

The KME, Work Sharp Perfection, Wicked Edge and even my $20 (about 20 years old) Lansky, like all of the stick sharpeners, work great.

I only have two dislikes in them. Some of them are extremely overpriced in my opinion and I don’t like the ones that need to be clamped to a table.

I actually have several Rada brand knives and use these on all of them. I also use the Rada sharpener on other knives but I don’t have any $200 chef knives. I do not use one on my pocket knives (use a Lansky) but I’m sure I could with good success. I understand why some people do not like them because they do take off some steel but certainly get most knives plenty good enough to use.

Got one of the worksharp field sharpeners after seeing the posts here.

Thanks! I reread directions and see I’ve been using the v-sharp wrong for 2 years.
