Yeah, but you don't fit in my kitchen's knife drawer.

Yeah, but you don't fit in my kitchen's knife drawer.

I'm pretty flexible

It might be fun stuffing Tyler in a drawer.

To the OP: Seriously, if you are wanting a super wicked edge on your knives, just send them to Tyler and let him do it.

I use the smiths 3 in 1 sharpening system. easy to use and it puts a razor sharp edge on my blades, and it's less than $20 on[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-CCD4-Field-Sharpening-System/dp/B000N35D2E"] Amazon[/ame].

I had a lansky sharpening system for years and loved it. I finally wore out hIe stones and replaced it with a smith from Gander. Any of the sharpeners that have a blade vise, guide rods and multiple stones will give you an excellent edge with just a little effort.

try this for an even longer lasting edge sharpen the knife at 25degrees then run over it with a very fine stone at 35-45 degrees. It gives your knife a more durable edge without sacrifice of sharpness.

for most knives the Spyderco Sharpmaker is perfect.

if you don't have the time, or really want to do it, send it to Tyler. it will make your life much easier. send dull knives, get sharp knives.

I have a Spyderco Sharpmaker you can borrow if you want to come pick it up

It's exspensive but a WartHog Sharpener does a very good job very quickly.

Looks like I may have to try one of the Spyderco Sharpmakers....I have a Lanksy that I have used for years but figure it is time to try something new and those look promising.

I could never get the factory edge back no matter what I used regardless of the knife. The local knife shop owner can get it close or even better and for a few bucks, why not let a pro do it.

I might also try the Spyderco pocket sharpener as suggested but these devices never seem to get that face shaving kind of edge. You know the kind where you won't shave with it but will probably cut yourself accidentally and then say: damn this knife is sharp.

The first time I used my sharpmaker I was able to get a blade sharp enough to remove hair from my arm with ease. There is a lot of room for improvement, but that will come with practice.

The sharpmaker comes with an instructional DVD that teaches you how to sharpen just about anything, and it's actually really helpful.
