Sharpening gerber prodigy

I know this is an older thread but I still want to put in my 2 cents worth regarding the sharpening of knives . The WorkSharps and simular type sharpening systems are great for ESTABLISHING beveled ( grind angles ) on knives but can do more harm than good when used to MAINTAIN sharpness . Sharpening knives is not the " ROCKET SCIENCE " that some would have you believe . It does not require a lot of downward pressure to MAINTAIN an edge but rather lighter strokes on one side and then the other and then FINISHING with a strop to get that razor edge . Learn to sharpen by hand because you can't take a Worksharp along when you go to the wilderness !
