Looking for new knife sharpener

[wrenchhead]

The onion unit works really well to restore a really messed up edge or rebevel an edge for someone not really handy with conventional stones. That's why I use it on kitchen knives....really quickly does the job.
But like I said the lansky still gets my vote for my hunting knives, to put a flawless edge on.

^^^ this!!!

Also, I only use a stone for sharpening, havent found any tool that will sharpen as well as a stone.

If you have a bench grinder reverse the polarity add a sand flap wheel along with a buffing wheel. Works pretty slick n easy

After some more googling it seems most people do NOT recommend Chefs Choice type of sharpeners and for small chips most just advise to leave it alone and let it sharpen out over time.

The only electric one that seems to have consistently positive reviews is the Ken Onion work sharp system.

Tbone, that does sound like a fast system ... if only I could keep a perfectly consistent angle .... it's one of the reasons I suck at using whetstones. Lol.

*sigh* ... I guess I'll just have to do a better job of making sure the cardboard boxes I'm curing down dont have staples hidden in the corners... lol.

Might want to check out "Edgepro" knife sharpeners. Seem to get good reviews.

I bought the Worksharp down at KMS Tools when they went on sale ... for a little over 100 bucks ... pick up some spare belts if you go this route .. even in camp its small enough to stow away and use an inverter and your vehicle ... you’ll be sharpening everyone’s knives for the house hold too.

Easy to get a shaving sharp edge on every time?
Does it produce a flat edge or a rounded convex edge?
Not that I care much about the shape of my edges just wondering if would require reprofiling since mine are all flat ground.

Thanks for the heads up

OR......you could just get a cheap scandi grind Mora and sharpen it with a file. Been doing it with the same knife since Boy Scouts and it works just fine.

Been using a three stage Chef's Choice for years.
It works great.
Don't know or care about the negative reviews, for me it is excellent.

Then I finish with one of these:


No hair on my left forearm all hunting season.
Beyond Razor Sharp!

Nog, which one? They have a couple with different angles. I assume the 20* one?? And the angle is fixed on yours, right?
