I use whetstones, have no trouble keeping any knife razor sharp, including my Kabar.

I have a Lansky also but normal whetstones are better.

I have whetstones, too, but mostly use them for finer honing of things like chisels and plane irons.  Diamond is quicker and easier for me and no mess.

Worksharp is an electric belt sander with correct angles. Turn your knife into a razor pretty quick.
With the Worksharp I've sharpened knives that I have never been able to sharpen before.
I use it on all of my cutting tools.
Ive taken it to work and sharpened co worker's knives as well.

It works.

On this forum....on a different thread, a poster mentioned the worksharp blunting the point of his knife. Ive done this myself and determined it was due to the blade tip being bent prior to sharpening. If I dont use my good blades for prying I have no issues.

I find the worksharp edge to be hardy.... I cut alot of cardboard.
I have an inverter on the truck that will allow the use of this thing in camp too.

Last winter I watched the infomercial out of boredom and Santa left one under the tree.
A great tool for someone who wants sharp blades but doesn't have alot of time.
As you can guess, I like it.

Thanks anyway.

Worksharp for everything I own that needs an edge! I use the medium grade belt and use a leather belt as a strop for honing it to a fine edge. Scary sharp.
