Hi .... I'm looking for a recommendation for a new QUICK knife sharpener.
I have been using Lansky for a long time, but I am sick of it. I've marked where the knives go on the clamp but still, every time it takes some fiddling around to get the proper depth as before so that the angle guides are consistent. It's a pain in the azz. And if you have a small chip in the blade you're gonna be on there filing for days
Anyways .... my criteria is this:
- I don't care about angles too much, as long as the sharpener keeps it consistent. Since i always have a razor sharp Havalon on me, my fixed blade is more like a utility knife.
- Fast. If i notice i chipped the blade a little by hitting a rock while trying to cut a tree out of the way of my trail cam, i want to be able to restore that edge in seconds, not hours.
- Idiot proof. I honestly hate sharpening and take no pleasure in it nor do i have any interest in learning. Something easy to use that has no learning curve (so no stones etc)
- Flat grind. None of my knives have a convex edge, so i don't think any belt-sander type sharpeners would work for me.
- No need to sharpen serrated blades. None of my knives are serrated.
I was thinking maybe some electric option? Let me know what you guys use that isn't Lansky, or whetstones.
Thank you!!
