    Would the work sharp ken onion edition sharper not work for that? Anyone have one to comment on how well they actually work?

    Yes. That. Also for sharpening DULL knives.

    Sure the lansky works but it takes time. Set up is a pain in the ass and if you have to reprofile or get a chip out it will take way too long.

    I used my Spyderco paramilitary to to undo a roberts head screw and it wasn't as loose as i thought ..
    You should use the proper tool for the job. If you haven't got the tool, borrow somebody else's knife

    I have one of those ken onion electric grinder units.....use it for quick grinds on the kitchen knives. Use the lansky for hunting knives for the exact edge.

    also depends which lan ski kit you use
    the Deluxe Diamond kit is the best, removes material quicker
    extra hones can be bought, maybe add a diamond coarse or extra course to the kit you have

    btaim, a chef/restaurateur friend uses a $800 Chefs Choice commercial electric unit
    He says 'its made with cutting edge technology' )

    I have one of these and it works well for convex blades but wouldn't help the OP. I have a Lansky type system for bevelled edges.
    Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?
