work sharp
work sharp ken onion
chefs choice
etc.
I know that a wet stone and the old school method is a great way to go, but I am just looking for a quick and easy way to touch up home kitchen knives such as chef knives, pairing knives as well as pocket and hunting knives.
Thanks
:tup:

For less $, people buy the Harbor Freight 30x1" belt sander and there are dozens of belts available in that size.

Standard WorkSharp here. The only rub I have on it is that you have to be real careful around the tips. They can get rounded off if not.If you stop pulling the knife when the tip gets to the middle of the belt and release the trigger there is less chance of rounding a tip. Or that's what my instructions say to do and I've been doing that so far with no rounded tips.

Edgepro apex is what i use to set the bevel. I keep my knives sharp with a spyderco ultra fine bench stone. I really like this system.

If anyone wants to buy my Edgepro kit with diamond stones PM me, I just don't use it much anymore.

We have a few ceramic kitchen knives, and though you need to be a little more careful with ceramic knives, holy moly are these things fricken sharp but because ceramic is so hard it takes special tools to sharpen them once they finally lose their edge. Work Sharp sells special belts for sharpening ceramic blades but I've got to be honest, I never bought them because I figured they were probably a joke and wouldn't really work but I didn't feel like sending them back to the manufacturer and waiting so I took a chance and ordered the Work Sharp ceramic sharpening kit for $30. I was pleasantly surprised when I got them and they worked extremely well. Now I can sharpen my ceramic knives myself and they turn out out just as sharp if not a little sharper than they are when I send them back to get sharpened.
I also have the belt sander attachment for my Ken Onion Work Sharp and it works great for putting an edge on lawn and garden tools. Works much better at touching up my lawnmower blades than when I used to use my bench top grinder.
