Knife sharpening

[phathead69]

Quality kitchen knives should only really need a sharpening steel.

Or if " Al " is up and fully operationally with his sharpening business, send them his way. ;)

Agree about the steel and after a lot sandpaper work on some of my older knives it's all it takes for them. Of course the new knives are new so good to go. Still have some of mom and mom in law knives to go. Hadn't thought about AL.

I read the reviews on the norton's and seem to be ok. Several complained they would not make a good slurry.

Correct, no slurry with the Norton 4K/8K or most of the synthetics. Just keep them clean and lapped flat and they do their best work.
