 Kitchen Knife Sharpeners

The Mrs. brought home a fresh whole pork loin the other day and asked me to help slice it into smaller roasts. I could'nt believe how dull her kitchen knives were, like using a hack saw akmost. Does anyone have a favorite brand of sharpner that really works and doesn't cost a fortune. Thanks. Frank.

Bvance; Thanks for the info I'll get one ordered, we probably have more than 140.00 tied up in ones that never worked. We don't have any real high dollar knives, but dull ones of any price are about worthless. Merry Christmas. Frank.

Peters; When we had the furniture plant I had a local fellow who did sharpening for a living take care of the planer, jointer knives, shaper cuttere, carbide blades, etc. he always did an excellent job and did'nt charge much. It just wasn't practical time wise to have an empolyee use production time to sharpen tools. Last time I was at his shop he had a new machine about the size of a VW beetle that had more buttons and dials on it than the Univac, all computer controled of course. Merry Christmas. Frank.

Peters; Guess I did'nt answer the whole queation you asked me. I could look thru the closets and the basement and probably come up with enough usless sharpeners, Vegematics, Billy May super duty slicers, dicers, majic jar openers. etc. likely still in the unopened boxes that the kids have given their Mother over the years to fill a pickup truck, so how bout a road trip to Iowa? Frank.

Billy, You're right on the angle of the edge, and that was always my downfall, I just could'nt seem to keep it consistent. The fellow I spoke of who sharpend our woodshop tools always left kind of a second minibevel on the very edge of the blade that was hardly visible without a hand lense, I don't know the strategy behind that but they always cut better than new planer or jointer knives. Frank.

As this all turned out I was in the local coffee shop a couple mornings after I first posted, so I brought up the subject of knife sharpeners. Turns out a local fellow whom I know fairly well is an advid hunter, fisherman, trapper, trap shooter, etc.. Turns out his hobby is sharpening knives with some sort of hand held stones, he said bring them up, give me an hour. Result was, razor sharp, almost insulted the man trying to pay him. Neat guy. Frank.
