What’s everyone’s go to knife sharpener?

Diamond stone on the medium and course, water stone on the fine

F.Dick Rapid Steel once the knife is sharp. Worksharp to get it sharp probably twice per year.

That question has lots of answers. Stones, crock sticks, Worksharp, KME. It just depends!

Sometimes I love vegging out at the bench sharpening knives.

I'll use anything except an accusharp or similar sharpeners

This is what I carry. Its the best field sharpener I've ever used.

https://www.amazon.com/AccuSharp-AC...93&hvtargid=pla-77880055286&th=1 - No other brand of this style. It must be Accusharp brand. It works great on every type knife from pocket knives, to skinning knives, to fillet knives, to kitchen knives. I have probably 6+ of them at various locations. They put a razors edge, very fast and very easily.

Good stones (that are dressed regularly)to establish the burr,and a strop to remove the burr and polish the edge.

3 sided diamond stone and a steel.

diamond steel for regular touchups

There was an old wet stone in a drawer of my house when o bought it, a nice very fine one. It's all I've ever used.



Correction.....if I have a super dull knife, I use the woman's carbide doohickie to get good angles on it first.

Arkansas Stone.

Dunn's sharpening system on a bench grinder for most of my knives.
I super fine stone in my hand for my khukri. The bevel is large on that knife. Since the purpose is to lop off limbs, one must carefully ensure that the stone contacts the entire bevel on every stroke, or you will destroy the shearing quality of that blade.

Worksharp

Thanks everyone! I’m going to start with the accusharp for now. All my knives are in good shape. Then upgrade to the worksharp set ups.

I'm with ADC...

How often do you throw your knife away? Those are tough on blades.

Dexter Steel. Once your knife is sharp. All you need is a steel to maintain the edge.

I have a Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener, easy-peasy and everything is razor sharp.

Accu sharp wont produce an edge I would shave with but they will put an edge on thats sharper than a lot of new knives come with.
