    Talk to me about Whetstones, something about the whet stone appeals to me, much like when I shot archery, i shot and competed in traditional. I am not sure if I will buy yet this fall, or next year, but, I’d love at least try to learn on a set of stones first.

ID:	1071629 DMT makes nice sharpening stones. Get you real close to Japanese water stones but without the hassle of taking care of them. I have a chef choice but didn't like how much metal it took off. Touch all my knives up month no complaints.

    leol2 That’s very surprising as popular as it is and how much it is like the Ken Onion too, just dedicated and simpler for kitchen knives. You might watch a couple of Worksharp’s videos or reach out to their support. I bet they’d help you out with concerns.

    Like mgaretz, I have the Apex Edge Pro. I use it on both my German and Japanese knives. It’s a time and money investment, but my knives are truly sharp. Like slice a paper towel held in one hand sharp, cut tomatoes sharp, take a finger off before your brain knows it has happened sharp. The only way to do better is buy Japanese whet stones and learn how to use them.

    I have this sharpener too and don't like it. Maybe I am not using it right but the results have not been that good for the money,

    I got the Ken Onion last year. I sharpened every knife in the house, except the butter knives; I sharpened the kitchen knives, the steak knives, and a few pocket knives. Then I took it over to my BiL’s place, and we sharpened all his knives, including his hunting and fishing knives.

    I can’t speak for him, but since then my knives have only needed honing. They’ll slice a mushy tomato to paper thin. And the Ken Onion hasn’t come out of its carrying case since that first week. It’s a damn fine tool.

    Panhead John I've been shopping locally and looking online. Online, many are sold out. Locally, there is a large variety of what is available. It is no longer a top priority due to other things popping up.
    I did buy a couple of new paring knives, one for her and one for me. (She uses hers to cut plastic wrappers and cardboard boxes so I will not let her use mine!

    I have this sharpener and I thought it was a good one but I saw a review recently on project farm on you tube and it did not score very well. I have since bought a wet stone.

    +4 on the Ken Onion. Great, multipurpose sharpener.

    Clark Well, did you decide on, or buy one yet? You’ve left us in suspense long enough. Many of us haven’t been sleeping well, until we know what you decided.

    I too really like my Spyderco Sharpmaker. It's manual, no water, and no oil. Works great.

    I love my E5, I strongly considered the Ken Onion but I don't use my axe or other garden tools enough to warrant it, so the E5 has been perfect

    My choice as well. Used for knives of all required sharpening angles (kitchen, fillet, hunting), scissors, and even my hand axe.
