Knife sharpening stones

[Boar]

I have a lansky system an either im going about it all wrong or im going about all wrong, he he... anyway wat do u guys use, i have one of those ceramic hand hleds that seems to work good till the ceramic gets coated then have to wash it off. Diamond systems? dont want a top dallor thingy either. Thanks

i Use to mess around with the sharpening stones until I bought a chef's choice electric sharpener. Was a little spendy at $120 but there is not a dull knife in the house. Very quick and easy to use.

I use a lansky, it does help to use a diamond for the coarse, then stone for the medium and fine. It's simple and does a good job.

I will second the Chef's Choice!!! I can sharpen all the kitchen knives and fillet knives in less than 10 minutes!!! When I was using a stone, it took 10 minutes per knife. I have better things to do with my time.

Hmmm thanks guys, seems like a good x mas gift idea.

Check out the work sharp knife and tool sharpener. A buddy of mine has one and they are sweet. North. Tool has them for like $70. The neat thing is you can use different grit belts and if you remove the blade jig you can sharpen all sorts of tools from axes to shovels.

WhoKnows, I have looked at those, but I fear grinding off too much of the blade, has your buddy experienced something like too much blade being taken off (heavy handed and going slowly, etc)
