Excellent, thank you for sharing that. I will look into that.

Awe damn. Only ships in US. Thx for trying.

no such thing as a good knife sharpener.

what you need to do is "hone" your sharpening skill

Get a bunch of cheap used knives.

Grab a cheap stone or three. fine, medium and a course. soak stones in water. keep them wet. tune up YouTube. Get to practicing.

Once you have the stone skill move to diamond or ceramic.

Stropping keeps a nice final edge. personally I do not like stropping.

YouTube search "whittle on a stick" Mr Collins does a fine job instructing on proper sharpening.


Keeping a knife sharp is a muscle memory skill, pure and simple.

I'm a good knife sharpener

the skulls of your enemies

Or take them to the knife sharpener shop.

I settled on a diamond rod sharpener. Easiest, fast, good edge.

If you are serious about sharp, it has to be Tormek.

I use 3 DMT diamond bench stones. These...

And then I follow up with a spyderco ceramic bench stone if I want it really sharp.

I have the Lansky sharpening set posted above, it's the best I've come across

Hey thanks. I want to be where you are. I appreciate your input.

Yo bro, I checked all that out and much more. I'm interested in the GLP community input. But thanks for helping.

Why do you got to be like that........dead link.

Thousands of gimmicks out there that cost lots of money.

Just get a good stone and learn the basics.

Diamond rod sharpenet? Do you have a link?

I picked up a gadget caller the Hunter Honer at a gun show 19 years ago. Best shtf sharpener I have used, and I have many different sharpeners.

Wow. Those do look like they will do the job but a bit pricey. But if they last a life time then why not.

Ok, I'll take your word for it and check them out, thanks :)

You do have a point and I have been leaning towards it. Just was wondering if there was a miracle solution.

And it is the only knife sharpener I use on my Busse Combat knifes.

There really isn't. I've tried many of them and nothing beats a decent stone and good technique. That's if you want a true edge and not just a quickie flawed edge.
