Wanaflatsfish Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I recently was going through the dilemma of what type of knife sharpener I should have in the house. I looked at various - super high end, I bought an upgraded Chef's Choice (I had one for 10 years plus) but returned after one use....too complex.....I also looked at Tumbler, etc. etc. I found this one - Brad and Taylor.... I like it because it's small and sits on the counter - no set up and it gives me a "razor" sharp blade and I can tune up every knife in 5 stroke....the others need set up, plug in to electric, etc. etc. Thoughts on what your using.... this on AMAZON and they have a few YOUTUBE videos for info.....

Bamaskeet Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I’ve struggled trying to sharpen my fishing knives using a stone. Sometimes I get the angle right and sharpening goes quickly and other times it’s a chore. I bought a Chefs Choice electric sharpener and it’s idiot proof. I keep one in the kitchen and one near my fish cleaning table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 My son bought me this because he knows I like to sit and sharpen my Benchmade's about every other day. I know I need help!. But I would like to find something for fillet and kitchen knives that's not a chore...this is not my personnel but what I have at home...

And, I've been using it every night when I cook....4-5 strokes and it's rock hard sharp and ready to plunge into a ripe papaya....the knife that is BTW, the one you are referring to is the Nylon Version...the one above $115 or so....the chef's choice is good, but, requires three different honing steps across the platform...the Taylor requires just a different angle in your hand depending on the sharpness...what I've seen is that once I've gotten my Chef knives sharp...I just need to hone them about 4-5 times then wipe with a paper towel and wash off the burr. Plus, it's something I can take with me on the boat for dockside sharpening.... DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
