Need Help Finding A Good Sharpener And Not The Sharpmaker Already Own That. Im Looking For Something Differant. Thanks For The Help..
 
For under a bill, I'd either try to find someone discounting or selling a used Edge Pro; or go with a Lansky. What's the problem with the Sharpmaker, if I may ask?

Of course you could always go old-school and get some free hand stones and a good strop. $100 would get you a VERY good quality set of stones, I'd think.
 
Consider free hand sharpening. Two Japanese waterstones, one around 800 or 1000, the other 4000 to 6000. A plastic tub, say about 16" X 20", a piece of 2X4 and a cinder block to flaten the stones when they wear. Easily under $100.

A few hours of practice (your work for free, right?) and you will never look back.

I appreciate your readiness and willingness to point out that people have posted on the "wrong forum"- however, since I am also trying to find information on different sharpening tools and skills, I looked (for quite some time) for a "sharpening" forum link on the forum index page and I could not find one. So like these other people, that you are quick to correct, I clicked on this topic.

Maybe, since you are the "superduperwhupermoderator"- you could get a link for sharpening that people who are interested in this topic could use on the index page.- I was able to find wine and cheese and the Randall knife society- but nothing on sharpening. Obviously this is a reccurent isssue, since I saw 2 of your moving vans in the first 5 minutes of my research.-

However, someone else was actually constructive enough on another "sharpening" issue on this forum to give an actual link to the sharpening forum, for that I am grateful, because it is the only place I could find one. Maybe you can post this link on the side of your moving van- at least that would be helpful and not merely and effort to make people feel stupid.
 
After some more research for the "sharpening" forum, I am led to assume that this is it, there is mention of "sharpeners" in the subtitle- Does the moving van mean that the thread has already been moved to the right location and I am not lost after all? I am a newbie, and just not sure where to go and when you get there and you see references that you are in the wrong location- you begin to wonder???
 
Ya don't see this too often, someone getting mad at the moving van...



Cheers,
 
the new 'Idahone Inc." CS-4, V type sharpener, w/ the new coarse
grade skicks, will sharpen and hone till your hearts content. under $35.
(303) 838-4635.
if you want a sharpener, with no limitations...buy the edge-pro, buy the best, cry once.
 
Not mad- confused- I thought I was at the closest match for information I was looking for, and then kept seeing "the van", so I too felt I was in the wrong place.
 
Since you already got the sharpmaker, a few old mousepads, a few pieces of leather and a bunch of wet\dry sandpaper from 80 to 1500 or more grit for convex edging.
