A good rule of thumb is to hold the blade so the back of it is about one blade width up from flat on the stone.

From the Buck instructions. ONE BLADE WIDTH UP. Whoooowiieeeee.

Buy a Lansky sharpener
Or a Klawhorn Redi edge sharpener.
Heck buy both!
Good luck

What about the Spyderco Sharpmaker? I've seen that referenced here a few times, and I know Cold Steel recommends it (fwiw).


Or Gatco?

Yeah, I was thinking about that too...for 6.75 I could save myself the time and effort and the cost of buying a sharpener when I've got other stuff to worry about right now.

True...but sharpening knives is fun and very satisfying when done well...
