Is the sharpener one that you pull the knife through?
If it’s a carbide draw-through type they are incredibly hard on knife edges, and remove a ton of steel unnecessarily.
About the sharp maker, how exactly does that thing work? Up until this point, I have been using a cheap handheld knife sharper. (Like that old ones, not a wet sone, but the ones that have the V shape)
Glad you brought that up. And, you are correct, they are hard on knives.
The answer is no. A Spyderco Sharpmaker is not that kind of system.
Still nothing.It is this:
That would be it.I got you.View attachment 1411541
Ok, the link was removed for some reason...
It’s a “Smiths Abrasives Knife sharpener”
It’s a “pull through” but the course and the fine are right next to each other - pretty much just a cheapy found at Walmart.
I will consider the Spyderco one, maybe I can find one used at a lower prices
(I’ll try the link one for time: https://www.bobwards.com/smiths-abrasives-knife-and-hook-sharpener-180166?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=googlebase&cvsfa=2455&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=31323931373234&cid=837522421&aid=49714429184&keyword=294682000766:la-294682000766&kid=294682000766&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhb36BRCfARIsAKcXh6GxdbfzrPJVBWQMoB-l7QkDHipxFr529P4hgXdgJp97lbcuWQGz1zsaAm52EALw_wcB)

So we came to a compromise...
I can get any pocket knife I want, as long as it’s concealed. (Meanings: in my pocket or in my waste band. I will most likely carry it in my waste band)
So I can still except the knife fromjlauffer and @Boru13. (I will PM you guys my address)
jlauffer : will you please provide a link for the knife? I want to see the stats and stuff.
I don’t know why, but I still have a burning sensation for a Spyderco, lol.![]()

You can buy a brand new Norton India stone for about $15.Is there any other good sharpener that doesn’t cost as much? (It is pretty pricey...)
If the one I have now is OK, and will continue to function (as long as I don’t use the “course” side) I see no reason why I really NEED the Sharpmaker. (If course, I really don’t NEED any of this.)
As soon as I get the Utilitac, I swear I will be officially addicted.![]()
