I need your help.
I have had some low to mid quality blades throughout my life, so sharpening was 'as good as I could do' so I would just try my best.
I would like to get better quality blades to USE, so I would like to learn to sharpen them better.
SO, I have two questions/scenarios.
1. For my regular quality knives, using just a whetstone/oilstone, what can I do to get consistent smooth sharpening done. (little to no investment, just tips on doing it right)
2. If I do start to invest in some better knives or kitchen cutlery, what devices should I look at to sharpen professionally.(mid to upper investment in new devices/equipment to use)
I had a lansky multi stone (multi colored with clamp and rod) years ago, but it was 'acquired' when the ex hauled ass with all my shit....
Thanks in advance,
Steve
p.s. xSFmed, with all those knives, what do you use??
