I'm about to drive myself crazy over the back and forth... Was about to pull trigger on the $225 KME, but realized I need the kangaroo strop as well. And then I need the emulsion... and at that point I'm only $50-$60 away from the $320 Deluxe kit, well over the $120 WS PA Elite I started from.
For someone only planning to sharpen/strop ~5 pocket knives (mostly S20V & S30V) as needed and maybe a couple 4" fixed, is there much point in stepping up to the KME?
For what it's worth, I don't have much interest in micro-beveling, etc. Just want to keep my pocket knives sharp, and easily enough I don't avoid using my knives for fear of dulling.
Thanks for any help with my analysis paralysis...
