I've been reading about the KO Worksharp and the Apex Pro over at Bladeforums for the last week or two and and couldn't make up my mind between the 2. Noticed today that BiMart carries the Worksharp and decided to give it a shot. I've got an old Browning 815 drop point that I let get very dull awhile back and haven't been able to get an edge on it since. Used my usual stones, ceramics, glass, diamond etc and no go. 30 minutes in and a couple adjustments on motor speed and its stupid sharp. I'm a believer.
The muscle memory is going along with the other... uh what was I saying?Bah humbug!!!
Muscle memory and lots of trial and error with stones!
Glad you found something that works for ya.
Though I feel it's an important skill to have, I don't know much about sharpening knives. The set in my kitchen is getting dull, and it'd be nice to have what I need to touch up my pocket knives when they're losing their edge. I'll need to sharpen both serrated and standard blades.
These seem to get good reviews, but I'm not sure if it's what I need: http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-PP1-Pocket-Multifunction-Sharpener/dp/B000O8OTNC/
Where do I start?
I hate going to friends or relatives houses and all their kitchen knives are incredibly dull and there's invariably no gear to sharpen them. On more than one occasion I've brought stones over and sharpened their knives.Actually In can put a decent edge on a dull knife by using the bottom of a common ceramic plate,
I hafta every year at Thanksgiving and also when I use the kitchen at friend's houses

I hear you and know of that cool trick. Most of these knives though about needed a file first to establish an angle, take out nicks and start any sort of edge. they were d u l lIf you just flip the ceramic plate over, and use the bottom as your stone,
hold the blade at the same angle you ordinarily would and you'll see the steel
coming right off the blade, onto the bottom of the plate, you can make the edge
you want with a plate, at least on a kitchen knife
I have one like that except it has a plastic "case" which looks like the top of a pen. Keep it on me all the times and love it for pocket knives!I have used a eze-lap diamond stick since I was twelve.
I have bought four now over the years.
They remove steel.
That's it!
Just like a stone, and many other devices.
It's the skill in using it. That makes it work so well.

I haven't tried it on anything to big, that's what my DMT 12 in diamond rod is for. I'm sure this would work though, it'd just take longer.Pocket knives, hatchets, large fixed blades, and even swords.
It works great.

Sharpening takes a lot of technique with flat stones. If you want to get dull blades sharp with out heavy reprofiling the spyderco sharp maker is a great quick way for almost all kind of blades.
