A knife sharpener recommendation
I am a bit overwhelmed by the variety that is out there. Does anyone here sharpen their knifes or blades anymore? Do you have a favorite sharpener? I need more than a honing steel. I have a 2 stage whetstone but time being a precious commodity these days I want to get a decent electric or manual sharpener. I am looking mainly for my kitchen knives and a handful of non-serrated blades. Filleting blades, hunting knifes, pocket knives etc. I prefer a 2 or 3 stage units. Being left-handed a have a few right-handed paring knifes that I plan to edge. So something fairly course to start with.
I have looked at a few online. Namely Waring Pro KS80 and the Presto 08810. Chefs Choice make so many it is hard to figure out the difference between a $30 unit and a $230 unit.
