  2. I keep my knives sharp. A dull knife cut you quicker than a sharp one.

  4. I've been using this: https://youtu.be/uOaE3Do1x7k for many years.
    It puts a good, usable edge on my knives in seconds.
    I can achieve similar results with whetstones but seldom find necessary.
    The small pocket version is in my truck/camp gear for quick touch-ups.

  5. I have a 20 degree block that holds an Arkansas oil stone. It will put a razor edge on with just a few swipes. I also have a 20 degree set of ceramic sticks that will fine tune an edge. If I use my knife I will hit the ceramic sticks a couple of times. I sharpen the kitchen knives every 6 to 8 weeks with the oilstone and daily with the ceramic sticks.

    Know what I mean?
    22.5 is where you want to be.

  8. TSPROF Sharpening System. Russian built and bloody expensive. I have the Blitz Pro. It's an exquisite piece of kit, and the best sharpening system I have ever used.
