Just wondering what knives you use to practice your sharpening? i offer to sharpen knives for friends for practice as well as i have a group of my own that i use to practice including The blade on my Leatherman Juice s2, Carbon Opinel 08, Svord Peasant folder, a couple of cheap gerbers and one of my Izulas
 
I found a broken old cheap kitchen knife which was half covered in paint which is now pretty much one if not the sharpest knife in my collection.
 
Since I now have a Wicked Edge System & have done a couple of dozen knives & have had great results on all of them, I am ready for some higher quality knives.
 
I buy used kitchen knives at the flea market for $.25-$1.00 ea. I don't feel bad about screwing up an inexpensive knife even though not all of them are cheap. Some have forged bolsters and retail for as much as $85-$100.
 
Hi Freedoom -

I have sharpened this poor old Vic waiter quite a lot!

All of them. When I started on BF, if I had done all the practice on one knife, it would be gone. I had to spread it out over 12 or so.
