Thread: Best knife sharpeners

Hello,

I'm struggling to get my filleting knife sharp on the whetstone.

What are the best sharpening tools/devices out there, that can sharpen all my knives, kitchen, boning, filleting etc...

Cheers

There's only one I would recommend as tried the rest.
It's bulky but bloody good.
Reasonably priced for what you get.
Just need good stones!
The easy-sharp.
Made in aussie.
Ezesharp.com.au
I started using them in WA in the early nineties for sharpening muelsing shears.
I really rate them.

Filleting knives are quite flexy so can be difficult,try having offhand with fingers resting on blade as you move it across stone.go slow n don't do it when tired or distracted.taking tip off finger hurts.

My answer is easy, I've recently (last 6 months) bought a rolling knife sharpener and use it on everything. Even my 12 year old can get knives sharp enough to take the hair off your arm... genuine german one is something like 200 euros, I have good chinese knock-off that has worked well for me, with 400/1000 grit diamond stones and 5000 grit polishing stone...

though if you want a Lanksy sharpening kit, let me know, I can sell you one cheap...

That ezesharp looks similar to the scary sharp I was going to suggest. They are bloody good as well, the latest one is streets ahead of the early generation one I have and that is still bloody good. It's about the only sharpening system I know that isn't powered in some way that can put an edge on a piece of bar steel...
