Knife Sharpening & Care

Well that's interesting and not what I was thinking. I have something similar to that, somewhere, haven't used it in so long I'm not sure I could find it.

T had not seen one of those before. I do have a couple of pull through sharpeners somewhere, not quite like that one though.

No joke!
 
I've always insisted on sharp knives but I can't say that I think doing the work is particularly fun. Just a necessary means to an end.
 
Been using a whet stone for over 70 years. Guess I'll just keep on dancing with the gal that brung me.

(Tight, but un-platened 600+ grinder belt.) It put a very mild convex surface on the cutting edge...."

I do the thin convex by hand using 1/2 dozen light passes on #4 of : soft nail polisher
As last step, it can produce razor sharp edges (or better)
 
Consider a Lansky system for a decent value sharpener that will produce a consistent angle. I hold my own using a stone and steel. If I want a razor edge I reach for the Lansky and leather strop initially then use my steel to refresh until the edge is gone and it’s back to the Lansky or a stone. The Lansky style systems that utilize a heim to guide the rod is a better design I feel as it holds an exact angle vs the slot style the Lansky has that requires a bit more technique to keep exact.
 
That's a good find. I watched that & a couple other reviews he did, I like them. He manages to get a lot of information in a fairly short amount of time & is pretty creative in how he tests things.
