Adjustable Angle Knife Sharpeners

[pickardjw]

Once you get a good edge on your knife you shouldn’t have to do a full re-do unless you really abuse it, chip it, or something similar.  Just touch up with a strop or ceramic rod and you’re good-to-go.

Yeah, I religiously use my honing stick. I think my electric knife sharpener just kinda sucks even though I keep the blade wet and run the blade through there properly. Just a bit of pressure, not too fast or slow.

Do y'all push the edge forward or drag it backwards on your wet stone? Everything I've ever seen says to push it forwards.

Edge forward, into the stone (or the stone into the edge).  When using the strop, it’s just the opposite.

I usually run it back and forth with the same pressure, but I'm using large water stones.

I'd try and figure out how to use the work sharp you got. You're probably developing a burr. Once you get rid of the burr, you should be able to get it pretty sharp. You dont have to be really precise on your angles to get a decent edge.

This video explains it pretty well

Any of you guys ever use the bottom of a coffee cup to sharpen a knife.

The best knife sharpener you have ever owned ,might just be hiding in your cabinet.
Never know.

I have one the “old school” belt sander type sharpeners
Table is set 20 degrees ish
You don’t touch the blade with bare skin. That means period.
It’s a slightly rounded profile, but it holds anedge extremely well
A couple passes os a steel, good as new

That would be a lot less work.

Good tip.  I also saw one once about using the edge of your truck side window, actually did it once and it worked fairly well.

I've trying this all morning with no success. All I get is plastic shavings from the bottom of the cup!

I was using it last nite.
Not scary sharp,but sharp enough to do some fieldwork.

Another thing I noticed was,you have to do go very slow even strokes.
Try to sharpen quickly with a coffee cup,won't get that sharp.
Go as slow as you can and even strokes and it works.

Yes, for years and years.  Just a ceramic sharpener, after all.  Be sure to wipe the black residue off the bottom of the coffee mug, or the boss of the house will have you sleeping with the dogs for a while.
