Thread: Knife sharpeners you’d recommend

or a mesh glove for the off hand.

I decided a while ago to invest in a high quality fixed blade. I was using the replaceable blade models, but didn't feel good about throwing away blades and they were so sharp, they felt dangerous. I'm much happy with the fixed blade, feel like I can put much more torque into the tool and work. Because of this, I invested in a Work Sharp Field Sharpener. Despite being a gram weiny - this is 170g, and relatively compact. But, it gives me a simple guided sharpening process "on the hoof" coarse diamond + fine diamond + ceramic + leather finish. Been brilliant for in field and at home (for those that have "those" that like cutting cake on plates). It's basically taught me angles and the process through repetition. Can't recommend it enough, along with an investment in quality knife steel + and regular sharpening. I got mine through some "dealer" on Trademe locally.

For sure, I’d like to limit it under 300ish but if there was one that was just next level I’m keen to hear what iv been missing with my simple Diamond file type

Replaced my Lansky with a warthog, very simple but very effective, puts a decent edge back on my knives in 30-50 strokes. Love mine as i am useless with a stone. Should prob practice more with a stone but the warthog is so easy and it works.

Looking seriously towards the Scary Sharp system.

We have had all 3 models. My son and me have model 3 each. We win every deer gutting comp with our mates.

Lansky system works well to start an edge.

Great bang for buck. I have the Edge Pro copy. Blade doesn't need to be clamped so good for filleting knives with longer blades.

Slighty off topic.......if anyone local to here,or going past needs knives sharpened...flick me a PM and I will sort them for you...that includes the long neglected knives from the kitchen too,good excuse to meet fellow forumites,shift worker with varying days off so will fit it in when and where I can. run out of knives to sharpen around here,even did all the scissors this morning LOL

When I first met her, MrsImaca was a bit worried about my obsession with sharp knives and putting them in a knife block and NOT JUST THROWING THEM IN THE DRAWER. Now after some 32yes of marriage she hates using anyone else's knives because they are always so blunt.

And the Ezesharp is significantly cheaper.
Looks good kit.


Although the MkII scary sharp is now tool less in a similar manner.

Scary sharp

Anyone using a Tormek system?
