Thread: Knife sharpener

I will have to say I concur a little @hotbarrels
in the absence of proper stones and a lack of patience, I have done the wet/dry trick. Unlike his method, I have tried to duplicate a stone and either used a piece of glass or if at work some flat steel. I don't reckon it was as good as a stone, but then I did get them shaving sharp at times so maybe all good

Key to it is to have some give, so not glass or steel. Hot barrels is onto it, easiest way by far, and easy to get great results. Haven’t pulled out a whetstone for a while now!
