Re: Sharpening with an electric knife sharpener
Yeah Im leaning more towards getting one of these because all I want is sharp knives, I hate a blunt knife more than anything.... Wont be using it on any special blades such as my Great Grandfathers Kukuri, rather on my EDC Spyderco or CRKT, and def on all my kitchen knives...... Thanks for the advise guys

I love my Sharpmaker.
But reprofiling a blade on it will give you nightmares. And blisters.
I need to get the aftermarket diamond stones for that work.
I’d MAYBE use a belt system to reprofile a blade, but once done I’d use stones. Too easy to mess up a good blade with a burnt edge or taking off too much material.
I’m also pretty sure I can get a knife sharper on the stones, but that’s a moot point because that edge that can shave slivers off a hair strand does not last long at all.Sent electronically, thus not signed.

Re: Sharpening with an electric knife sharpener
Also look at the Warthog sharper, Im very happy with mine. EDC knifes, hunting Knifes and kitchen Knifes gets sharpen on it. Takes a bit longer but a lot less aggressive on te blade

Re: Sharpening with an electric knife sharpener
Sharp is a relative term, ultra sharp like 10-20 degrees will get blunt very fast and require more frequent sharpening, sharp at 25-30 is good for general purposes and will take much more use to wear the edge. Unless you want to shave with your knife I see no reason to go with 10-20 degree sharpness.
