Cutlery Sharpening-Need reccomendations

Sign in to disble this ad
I need something better then a diamond-encrusted rob to sharpen my cutlery with. Anyone got any recommendations?

And by cutlery I mean unnessecarly-large-collection-of-pocket-kines-and-multi-tools-that-I-only-use-two-of-on-a-regular-basis.

In B4 use Google.

Use a sharpening stone.

They're not expensive and sharpening a knife collection is a good way to kill an afternoon.

They've got those devices where you just run the blade back and forth to sharpen it, but I find with my stones, I get a much sharper blade.

John Juranitch's method requires three things: a coarse stone, a fine stone, and a steel. You grind the profile with the coarse, refine and de-burr the edge with the fine, and straighten the edge occasionally during use with the steel.

Juranitch holds the the world record for fastest sharpening of a dull axe, and the cleanest shave with a freshly-sharpened axe.

A old friend of mine owns this business: EdgePro.

No idea if the products are any good, so again, do some research.

I use the stones, but I rarely whip out the steel. It takes longer and the results are probably about even, but I'm too lazy to add yet another step.

The steel is for occasional maintenance between sharpenings, not an additional step in sharpening. But I get it that laziness precludes maintenance too.
