"It's 5:00 somewhere!" |
I've got a question for you guys and gal.
 It seems like lots of forumites use LifeSharp, and quite a few use a SharpMaker to sharpen their knives. And then there's what seems to be a small Edge Pro crowd.I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of response this poll gets. So: ------------------- "There's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. And good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called 'the better angels of our nature.'" |

Stone, nothing more relaxing than hearing the sound of a good blade on stone.
I think I will go sharpen some knives now.  |

You forgot powered sharpeners, paper wheels, belt grinders.
I love the EP, I never got very good on stones, probably due to using those small hand held ones and not proper bench stones. Nothing like getting a super thin chefs knife from "won't cut paper" to hair topping sharp in a few minutes. That's my definition of stupid sharp. Blade geometry makes a huge difference for sharpening as well, I absolutely love thin flat grinds with good steel, very easy to sharpen up, the thicker the blade just means more metal removal.

That's funny, 'cuz I thought about paper wheels but thought there might already be too many options. I wasn't sure how large the paper wheels contingent was either. I really am interested to see some numbers. ------------------- "There's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil.

I've been using paper wheels the last few years and love them.

I've used all of the above, and I must say the Spiderco Sharpmaker is with out a doubt my favorite.

My intention is to buy a Apex EP just as soon as I sell a knife or two.
Up until know just a really really old lansky.  |
