| Looking for an easy sharpener. Really really can't get the hang of the stones. Would much prefer something like from an infomercial. anyone know of any of those that work? |

A friend of mine that is a meat cutter at a grocery store has a $25 electric one from Wal-Mart ( I know, I know ) but I gave him my two SOG Flash II's that I carry daily so he could sharpen up the one I use for utility and put an extra sharpness on the one I carry for "just in case".... It worked! He used the electric thing for about 2-5 minutes and then had me use the honing thingy immediately thereafter to make it better. |
Anything resembling this Family got something similar when I was 10 or so, as soon as I moved out, I bought another similar one. It's pretty damned hard to screw up with them, and they will get shit razor sharp. All my foodie friends love using my knives - it's stupid simple to keep them sharp enough to slice a ripe tomato paper thin. ETA: I have This  It stores round ceramic sharpeners in it's base, it has two different angles - a narrow one for rough sharpening, and a slightly shallower one for honing. Once the work with the narrower angle, with the rougher cermaics has been done, the finer cermaics in the shallower angle can re-hone a blade in a suprisingly short amount of time. |
