Yeah...was actually looking at Smiths tri-hone diamond sharpener for $80 on eBay
Haven't looked at the lansky yet. I'll check it out.
Thanks

There is a Excalibur Knives in most of the shopping malls, if you don't feel like doing it yourself.

Post by: HawkCreek on August 22, 2013, 06:48:02 AM: Those directions aren't the best. You shouldn't use any pressure just let the weight of the knife do that. Also 20 degrees is dependent on grinds, you lift until you hear the noise change and drag that angle. And a mousepad isn't needed, I just lay my sandpaper on the table, start with 600 grit for a real dull knife and work up to 2000 grit. I thin strop on leather although you could use stripping grit if you wanted. Good videos on youtube look for "convex sharpening".

Is golden steer in Duvall? quick turnaround? Can I just wait while they do it?
Bought the lansky. Its more of a re shapper as opposed to sharpener. Other thwn a simple stone tgpe process its new to me. I would like to spend some time doing research and get really good at it, unfortunately I'm on time crunch until the end of next week tell I'm out in the woods.
thanks for the info
