One of the versions will make my Christmas list if I hold off that long lolI just watched a video on the rolling knife sharpener. THAT'S BRILLIANT!
Belted, the Ken Onion is the improved version.When people say Work Sharp, are you talking the belted version or the guide rod version? I'm thinking of getting my son-in-law the guide rod version. It seems to take the hassel out of holding the correct angle while giving the benefit of stone sharpened knives.
Same thing we got … sharpen once a year and hit it with a steel when cuttin up deer and ur good to go… as long as I can shave paper really easily that’s sharp enough in my bookLong time ago when I worked in the meat department at Winn Dixie, they used a Norton Tri-Stone. The manager taught me how to use it and I've had my own for many years.

Steve I got my sharpener. Suppose to be a good one. Any tips before I try to use it?View attachment 678259
I like this 3 stage electric. Though, I usually just use the medium and fine stones now that I have my older knives sharpened. Couple passes. And they're good to go.
Like many have said above, I love my Ken Onion Worksharp with the blade grinding attachment. I also have some stones, but rarely use them anymore.Good ole knife steel? Lanske? Stones? or the new motorized angle sharpening systems? Pro's and cons....ease vs, difficulty....
Go!

I have those stones. Just not the holder contraption thingy. Good stones.Long time ago when I worked in the meat department at Winn Dixie, they used a Norton Tri-Stone. The manager taught me how to use it and I've had my own for many years.

That's a spendy little sharpener but looks like a dandy unit. Wish I could figure out how to sharpen my Ion Ice Augar blades on something like that. They have a difficult contour to them.Oooh. I've been away from here a long time but since last i've gotten a Tormek T-4. Not only am i making my own knives razor sharp (no hair left on my left forearm), i'm also sharpening knives and axes for friends, relatives, neighbours...just for fun. A great steak deserves a sharp knife
The base is supposed to be filled with honing oil and the stones are rotated to get coated. Whichever stone is selected, the rotating assembly locks into place. Mine was accidentally dropped and the base and one stone were cracked, won't hold oil anymore...I have those stones. Just not the holder contraption thingy. Good stones.
