Hi folks, now that Christmas is coming I'm looking for a recommended knife sharpener. I've always sharpened my knives with an oil stone and then kept them keen with a butchers steel until they need doing again. I would prefer something that does the job without having to think - ie, I place the knife against the sharpener and it does its job. I'm not looking for something that relies on me holding it at 16 degrees instead of 18 or the ones that take away half of the blades metal in one fell swoop
It could probably be semi professional as I would like to offer to sharpen knives for the family and friends and maybe even neighbours.
So come on - what do you use or recommend ?
Yotmon.
