Just curious to see what y'all use to sharpen your knives - I find these things fascinating.

Here's my at home setup:

haha I actually do use my notebook to strop
PCPC4 and PCPC 5 stropping compound, simply loaded on half size Post-it papers
Whetstone (800 and 1000 grit)
Automotive sandpaper (1500 and 2000 grit)
DMT Dia-sharp card (extra fine; 1200 grit)
(not shown) Sometimes I strop on newspaper as well.

Other than the whetstone, I actually do keep the smaller items with me in my wallet for on the go touch-ups.

I don't sharpen too much. I do do small touch ups about weekly or after a hard work period and strop just about daily. This helps keep a nicely polished and sharp edge.

I'll have to post up a photo of the edge when I get home from work.

Let's see yours!

:) Swing on down. I was thinking of picking up a Wicked Edge, but I doubt I would put it to much use.

I could never understand the people who couldn't use crock stick style sharpeners. Maybe they over think it. The angles are set up with the sharpener. You just draw the knife down. There is no trick. I'm sad you're stupid. I wish you were a wiener.

1. Sharpmaker no goood on kitchen knives, something about geometry.
2. Sharpmaker yes goood on real knives.
3. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Also, I can sharpmaker all my blades razor sharp. For some reason, anything in 440 gets really, really sharp. At least for a while.

Not for whom it was directed, but this is really an awesome passive/aggressive insult. I'll have to try to slip it into as many conversations as possible.
