Knife Sharpeners…

[IndyWS6]

Anyone have recommendations for a good knife sharpener? I have some quality kitchen knives that are dull as shit. Past the point of using a hone to dress the edge. I’m good with using stones if needed, but an easy, convenient sharpener that will put a lasting edge without the hassle is desirable. Something that can do both angles would be great. Suggestions?

Spyderco makes a good sharpener.

Looks like it’s more for pocket and hunting knives?

I’d like something more convenient than the manual process…

I’m not opposed to going the manual route, but a more convenient sharpener would be preferred. I’ve tried several of the “V” type sharpeners and they’re OK, but the edge never lasts. I have German knives and Asian knives and a sharpener that easily handles both would be great…

It’s not an unreasonable question. I’d like a convenient knife sharpener. I’m smart enough to go the manual graduated sharpening stone route if needed, but if there are other, easier approaches, I’d prefer that.

P.S. I’m neither hungry, or lonely…

Geez guys, give the guy a break.

He asked a simple question and said that the sharpener route "is desirable".

Sorry. Carry on. It matters not.

For what it’s worth, I found that one of my “V” type sharpeners actually does a decent job - you just need to run the blade across a sharpening steel to get it dressed. The edge is OK, but still nowhere near where it should be…
