- germinalphrase 3y agoI find the Sharpmaker great for touching up an edge, but not nearly aggressive enough (without adding an aftermarket set of diamond rods) for repairing or setting a new edge
- Detrytus 3y agoI used to own one, but I find the rods too short - it's good for small, 12-cm blades, but it's useless for anything bigger. Right now I switched to proper water stones :)
- oldpersonintx 3y agothis is basically the 2023 answer I don't care if you are a fifteenth generation swordmaker who practiced for sixty years...you cannot hold a blade in your hands steadily, at sub-mm precision, for more than one stroke changing the angle even slightly is effectively starting over but if you must go old school - BELGIAN COTICULE...all other sharpening stones are inferior, it is no contest imho
- c0pium 3y agoThis is FUD. If you believe this I have some $8000 speaker wire to sell you.
- Detrytus 3y ago>> you cannot hold a blade in your hands steadily, at sub-mm precision, for more than one stroke That's what the guiding rails are for... So far whetstones with guiding rails are the best sharpening method I found. As you can see from my other comment in this sub-thread, I find Spyderco lacking.
