Sharpener? Stone, strop? How do I do this?

I've always used a stone. I think a stone followed by a strop yields better results though, could be wrong.

When knifes leave the factory they are sharpened at a certain angle. This angles does change from one manufacture to another. A steel is used to keep an edge on the knife and should be used often. If that angle is lost it needs to be redone which requires being resharpened at the original angle...

I bring mine to Bowies and tell them to "demo" the knife sharpener for me.

I have a Spyderco knife and a Spyderco Sharpmaker, but they are at the exact same angles. Different blades have different angles

I just bought one similar to that one. It's a work sharp also. It was about 80 bucks on Amazon. Like the previous poster said, I can shave my arms after about a minute or two on that sharpener.

I use a stone and steel. I use my knives a lot during trapping season and it works for me. That said, I've been looking at the worksharp for a while now.

So Easy.

The Wicked Edge takes the Lansky sharpeners to a whole new level. The do come at somewhat of a premium but they work.
