Evening All,
As my knive collection grows it's become clear I am going to need some more/better sharpening kit.
I currently use wet and dry paper on a flat board but I'm getting through quite a bit of paper and I'm also finding free hand sharpening quite frustrating at the moment and would like something I can set up and use to get a consistent angle and decent sharp blade then put it away and use the knife knowing it's got a reasonable edge.
So does anyone use any of the sharpening systems such as the lanksy system http://www.heinnie.com/lansky-sharpeners-sharpening-systems-standard-system as always I also have to consider budget and the Lanksy system would be the top of that.
The other option would be a knife clamp http://www.heinnie.com/dmt-knife-clamp and decent stone.
I've got a selection of strops that I've made.
What's everyone's opinion and what do you use?
Cheers
Jon
