my step dad got a similar sharpener from sportsman's warehouse. i watched him use it on the kitchen knives and it worked well. it seemed to take a lot of metal off the blades. there was small curls or steel forming on each pass. i was going to use it on my CRKT but didnt want to f up the blade.
how well do they sharpen an edge? does it do it at the correct angle? ive always used a diamond wet stone to sharpen my knives so i know nothing about these. LINK |
| I don't know... I never liked any of them. I just do better with a very coarse/fine Norton crystolon stone followed by hard Arkansas followed by leather strop with emery compound... I just don't like the gadgets. You're stuck with one edge angle and there's no way to get a true honed edge with a V element. |

im just concerned about the angle. i dont want it to bee too steep because it will not hold an edge.
i guess the only reason im thinking about this is because im not the best at sharpening. i have a hard time getting the correct angle. this seems to be an easy way to get a consistent edge.. |
