Something like that was GOING to be my knife of choice someday, but no longer.
I was knife-sharpening challenged, but not longer!
My WorkSharp knife sharpener came in yesterday and I sat down and sharpened up 12 knives in fairly short order. Some of the knives are very robust, but almost impossible to sharpen for the able, so impossible for the "challenged" like myself.
I first sharpened the blade on a $2.50 multi-tool. It would cut hair when done, and it is pure junk.
Next I went on to my gerber camping knife...and it did excellent.
Next I went after my double edged kayaking knives and my fishing multi-tool. Excellent results some will shave, some won't but I don't care..the goal is sharp, not to shave.
I finished up with the kitchen knives. Three of the four did great, and the forth is just weird. It is serrated, but neither side of the serration is flat. I got miffed about it, and just decided to treat is as a normal knife, ignoring the serrations. It will cut now too.
Last...I picked on a dagger that I have tried to sharpen correctly since I was a child, and always got lousy results. If you carry it as a kid, imagination tells you it will help you fight off imaginary assailants, but actually trying to cut something with it was a joke. Now, it is out in the garage on my workbench and I plan to use to to do most of the rough cutting I encounter. That knife will now drop right through a piece of paper.
So, I am well on the way to meeting my stated goal of having every edge I own sharp. Next I am moving to the mowers and the shovels, axes, etc.
If a person is impaired like me, I recommend the sharpener. If a person has to sharpen a great deal, I suggest it as a time saver. I'm glad I bought it.
