I'm not much of a knife sharpener. I'm naive. As a woodworker, I keep my chisels sharp enough to shave hair (using the "scary sharp" system), but I'm a wimp when it comes to touching one of my knife edges. With that said.....
Which system do you all like between the Spyderco Sharpmaker and the Lansky systems? Which one do you think would be more "foolproof" (if that's possible) for a rookie like me?
The lady at the knife shop I visited said the Lansky's were her biggest seller and she was sold out of Sharpmakers. Interesting. She might have been just trying to sell what's in stock, I don;t know. I did get a chance to study the Lansky in its plastic package and get an idea for the theory, but I've only seen internet pictures of the Spyderco Sharpmaker. I do not understand the mechanics behind the Spyderco.
Thanks for any advice....
