| What do you guys use to sharpen your knives? I have been a long time steel user myself, but have thought about trying auto glass. |

I was extremely hesitant - but after buying a spyderco sharpmaker, I'm very happy I bought it. I was also very impressed that it came with a DVD showing how to correctly use it, along with full-color instruction manual. (because I was a sharpening noob) I'm not "great" with it yet, but was able to get several of my extremely dull knives up to near-shaving sharp the first time I used it. Now that I'm getting better, I can approach that "scary sharp" edge consistantly. ETA: pay no attention to that $80 MSRP. I think I paid $50 for mine new online. |
I have that ceramic stone system under a different name . It does work great you'll need to wash them in dishsoap from time to time , the ceramic gets clogged up with metal . One thing is be very careful with the rods you don't wanna drop them . They break easy . I've since started using DMT's diamond stones , they cut super fast and last forever . JMHO |
You're supposed to sharpen knives? I guess that explains why my pocket knife can barely open an envelope.  I have some cheap ass Gerber thing... this piece of crap. I desperately need to invest in something that's a little better quality. |
SPYDERCO...easy to use.. I have had mine going on 20yrs...Use it regulary..Just clean with Ajax and a scotchbright pad when clogged... |
