I suggest the purchase of a Worksharp Knife sharpener, the guesswork and skill is all taken care of,if you can push a button and drag a knife slowly through a guide you'll sharpen em like a pro.Even the hard to sharpen knives sharpen very quickly and easily.

If you use an electric sharpener you run the risk of putting a bow in the back of the blade, find a knife store they should be able to do it

Are you in a rush to get it done? I'm good with a stone but I'm going to be out of town till the 10th.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

I picked up an old filet knife that I found out by my chicken coop today, in five minutes it was sharp enough to filet the salmon I got today.

I can see this happening if you're using something course-ish that's doing a bit of cutting but I have the Ken Onion edition Work Sharp sharpeners and all I ever use are the finest grit belts with VERY light pressure and I've noticed zero difference in the contour of the blade. 

The only thing I notice is how freaking sharp I can get a blade and how easy it is to do so.  Now, we never have anything that isn't razor sharp and if it is, I can have it back to razor sharp in just a few seconds.  My Work Sharp has been worth every penny!

I used mine to sharpen my buddys cheapie boat danielson bait/utility knives that were so dull you could ride all the way to hell on them and never even feel it,they were laser sharp with a round of the red belt and then a round with that grey belt.

If it's high speed I think that's an issue. The WorkSharp isn't fast enough to do that as far as I know.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Unless I'm working on a knife that's in really bad shape all I use is the white one then hone it with that narrow, super fine, blue-ish colored belt.  The blades I've done seem to hold their edge quite a bit longer when I finish off with that narrow ultra fine blue-ish belt.

I'm sure, for someone that knows how and has all the right stones, they can probably do a better job than I can with my Work Sharp but I'm certainly NOT that person and I wanted something I can easily use to get knives very sharp so the Work Sharp works well for me.

I even use mine, with the course belts, on my lawn mower blades and they come out sharp as he11 and I hone the heck out of them after they're sharp and they've yet to get dull or chip.

Read the reviews on the "work sharp" electric sharpener.  LOTS of people say its the best at a good price.
