I know this will seem totally stupid, but what are the best ways of sharpening knives. I own several very good makes and types of knives, such as benchmade, opinel, victorinox, etc., but as I use tham at my workplace (opening pallets/boxes etc.), they have all become blunt. I would just like to know how best to sharpen them. What is the best mathod, and what is the best technique. Please answer as I love knives, but I am considerably uneducated as to their finer points. Also, if anyone has any useful U.K. knife manufacturer/retailer links, I would be very grateful. As the factory manager at my workplace, I have promised all my employees good quality knives as opposed to replaceable blade types, which had a good response (factory use only, with an audit check every night.), but I have to plead ignorance to the sharpening side of knife.
Please pass on ANY information
 
Hey, Guitar, if you do a search on sharpening, you will find that there are probably more opinions on how to sharpen a knife than there are knives. I have used a variety of methods, and the one that works best for me is the Spyderco Sharpmaker 204. I won't extoll its virtues here-- a search for sharpmaker will turn up more information that you want.

Hey guitar, Welcome to BladeForums.com. Good luck on your search and happy sharpening!
 
Does anyone think that there is anything better than a Spyderco Sharpmaker 204 for a beginner?
 
Spyderco Sharpmaker 204 for sure
You might wanna try www.toolshop.de and www.heinnie.com (heinnie haynes is expensive but fast and convenient if they have what you want in stock, toolshop is cheaper but will take longer)
have a good one ;)
