Its about freaking time !

This is what I had bought a while back . I don't recommend it at all but maybe someone figured out the magic missing equation of the degree setting per blade . If so , youre slicker than I am

I own this and have seen great success with it. I’d love to have an electrical version that’s dummy proof and adjusts angles for me but those aren’t cheap.

I guess I could use mine and start a new angle [ on both sides ] and take it through each grit . But it would take a lot of time . Im just unable to see how the different [ or any ] of the grit bars lay on the blade in order to see if its " level " with whatever angle the blade is at . Anytime I go to lay it on , the angle of teh blade is covered by the grit bar ... at least with my eyes . That thing was the biggest pain in the ass for me , lol . It must work being that theyve sold a crap ton of them

I'm telling you dude, a wixey digital angle gauge and sharpie on the edge. It will be dialed in seconds

Wonder how that would work on my kitchen knives

Yes powered one

I'm glad that's working well for you.

Nope. But someone probably has somewhere

I can sharpen a blade with a stone good enough for general use, but my butchering knives I usually bring to my Amish neighbor. He has a small business sharpening blades and I let him hunt on my land and he sharpens my knives and shoes my horses for free.
I always did these tasks myself until about 5 years ago.
Both are frustrating tasks that I despise.

@Ruffinogold , don’t forget to strop it and get that burr off the edge. Once it’s sharp make it a point to keep it sharp. You can strop it on cardboard, leather belt or even heavy jeans. Just hit it a few strokes every time you use it.
