always use the brass rods these days.

i cut my thumb bad when i was about 10 years old sharpeing on something like a sharpmaker. that is the reason!

ahh.....i remember it vividly. i seem to remember my thumb tip jumping around on the ground like a lizard tail. lol

Have always used the brass rods, don't know why, just a habit from the start. A bit like putting on the seat belt when getting in a vehicle.

Once when the sharpmaker was new, now the grey stones sit in the base in my kitchen for touchups on the chef knife.

Always - I like my fingers just like they are.

NO, not always, just the second time sharpening after every time getting cut, i just imagine my sharpening skills exponentially rise everytime i sharpen

One time I was not going to use them (last time I touched up). But when it came to the 722 and had to do the secondary edge, so I was pointing the knife down, I was afraid I would slip and stab myself.
