Sugguestions on knife sharpening systems

T.G · 09-06-2013, 05:03 PM

I'm sure the Lansky is a great system, the design has remained virtually unchanged for many decades. The problem with it is me, the whole setup is clumsy to me. I rolled the stones a few times and marred the edge each time. Not a big deal for an old "nothing special" kitchen knife, but annoying none the less. Then I almost jammed my hand into the blade a few times. It just doesn't work for me.

Wicked Edge is great, but $650? Heck, I don't know if I even have that much invested in all of my cooking utensils, pots and pans combined. For what I would use it for, I think I'd have to be nuts to drop that kind of coin.

Thanks for all the comments so far.
