Before I joined the forums I wanted to teach myself how to put a good looking scary sharp edge on my knives. I found a brochure for a Lansky and bought a universal kit. I have been able to put an ok edge on some knives but nothing like I've seen. Is it possible to push to hard? Am I doing something wrong? I have noticed on the forums alot of people talk about Sharpmakers, what is the best sharpener for a beginner that is easy to use for the best results? Is there a certain model that's preferred (I think there is more than one Sharpmaker)? I had a Spyderco Delica way back that a "friend" stole from me that was the sharpest knife I ever owned. Everytime I would say "don't touch the blade" and someone replied "I know how to handle knives" it meant another trip to the emergency room for stitches. I want that kind of sharp again. I normally send my BM's in for Lifesharp service but it's not scary sharp. I would love any advice I can get, you can reply here or email natpro7420@yahoo.com. If I decide to let someone else put a wicked edge on something are there any master sharpeners out there willing to do some work? Thanks for looking.
