Hey everyone, I'm newer to knife sharpening and seeing if anyone has recommendations for what I should do.
Right now, I have a SPYDERCO. Sharpmaker that I use on my WUSTHOF kitchen (steak, chef, pairing) knives and pocket knives (mostly benchmade and Gerber). I just picked up a SHUN recently, so I plan on using that too. After doing a little digging on here and the web. It looks like I might be doing more harm than good with the Sharpmaker on my WUSTHOF, and I don't want the shun anywhere near it. So my question to yall is, what is a good sharpening system that sets the angle for me to make sure I don't damage the blades. Have a strop; it's still in the bag. Need to pull it out.
This all being said, my knives are definitely sharper utilizing this system. I got them sharpened professionally a couple of years ago, so not sure if they messed up the angle, and that's what's helping me.
Pretty sure I have a GATCO Edgemate somewhere in the garage too.
Currently looking at Wicked edge and Work Sharp products.
