Smith Diamond stone course then fine. Gets everything wicked sharp. Even axes.

This is hands down the best knife sharpening system on the market right now. It's exactly like the edgepro/wicked edge, but the refinement and quality of the system is unsurpassed.

Unlike the other systems, all guess work is removed with this one.



Personally I use the ken onion work sharp. It's just too easy and faster then anything I've ever used before. I suppose any belt system will work, but the worksharp is small and easy for anyone to use, including my 70 year old mother.




First In Last Out

After spending a LOT of money on all kinds of equipment, and a LOT of time, I discovered it’s not my forte.

I found a retired guy the local Williams Sonoma subs to. He’s fantastic, quick, prompt, friendly, personable and only charges $3.00 per knife.

I gladly pay him and spend my time doing something more productive, profitable and enjoyable.

This then finish up with a ceramic rod. I have a machine(Edge Pro) but I just prefer to sharpen by hand.

I use both Dmt and some other ceramic stones that work with the angle guide from dmt.. I start with the course diamond and work to the 1000 grit ceramic. It gets my bench made very sharp
