    knife sharpener

    any recommendations for a sharpener that won't break the bank, mostly use on kitchen knives and filet knives, easy to use would be nice.

    The best is a wet stone
    Norton does sell a smaller 3 stone kit (You need Medium, Coarse and Fine)
    https://www.amazon.com/Norton-IM313-...10&sr=8-7&th=1

    If that doesn't work for you
    The pull thru's are cheap and easy to use. I'd still buy one with 3 stones

    Dmt diamond stones work great.

    Aligner kit is 3 stones for 54 with a angle guide.

    Do you want an electic sharpener?

    I have a Smith's that is adequate.

    Surprisingly, the Presto brand motor seems a little stronger and does not bog down as much as the Smith. Maybe that is not a good thing and the Smith slows on purpose.

    Japanese water stones for me. Unless you are going all in a combo stone is your best bet.

    This is a good source but there are many others:

    I switched to the Work Sharpener tool and knife sharpener. Uses a belt and can do 10 knives in a few minutes, scissors too.

    I use a Work Sharp Precision sharpener. https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/p...20group%20%231
    Added the Upgrade sharpening kit. The one drawback is I can’t use for some of my Wusthof Santoku knives which have a 12 degree angle blade. But, I have a ceramic stick and a Wusthof 4 stage sharpener for those couple of knives. https://www.wusthof.com/products/uni...1b3c355186f5ca
    It has a Standard (15 degree) and Asian (10 degree) stage.

    I bought this pull-thru and it works good enough for my kitchen knives. Don't have anything fancy though, but it'll get them sharp enough.

    DMT's work great and I also have a set of Shapton Glass stones. My wife has several Wusthof knives and she likes having them sharp as a razor.

    Sure would like to see a video of this in use.! I would say it looks like something I would use.! For $59 I may just have to get it and see.!!
