I have a typical butcher block of knives (9 different sizes though we may use 2-3 regularly), a Rapala trimming knife, the Mercer brisket knife, and a few steak knives. The Rapela and Mercer were bought in December 2020 and February 2021 so understandably due.
I did read this excellent thread:
The way I see it, I have three options:
1) Local knife sharpener. I have never used one but there is one local. I am guessing this would be $50-$100 bucks.
2) Ken Orion. https://www.worksharptools.com/shop/...ife-sharpener/
3) E5 electric. https://www.worksharptools.com/shop/...ife-sharpener/
If I can get 30% off from Worksharp, I would basically break even after one use on the device.
I lean towards the E5 because because I am a knife newbie. I am not sure about the learning curve here on the other options. My concern is simply ruining the knives I have even more due to ineptitude essentially.
What would you recommend? Anything I am missing?
