I second that. I use those hand held gadgets along with a steel for honing but like Tbud said, There's more dull knives than sharp ones around here.

I've been using my Lansky for 15 to 20 years. It's a great set up. I even use it to resharpen the blades on my Muzzy broadheads.

Any way I couldn't stop. I sharpened every knife in the house except the serrated and butter ones.

What? You didnt sharpen the axe?

I hate dull knives as well. They are more dangerous than sharp knives!!! I for one, prefer a dry stone but in the kitchen, I use the iron.

Iv used the Lansky for at least 20 years lov it I have all the stones.the serrated stone works great.I will not carry a dull knife nothing worst.As I was showing a young lad just the other day how to gut his deer I expressed many times how important it is to hav a razor sharp knife. ;D

I have been using knives all my life and I'm still not good a sharpening them . A dull knife is very tiring to work with.

I don't like dull knifes at all, one of my peeves. I bought a belt sharpener. I have to change the belt to a finer grit as I go but it does a good job. Take time to sharpen everything thought.

The only thing good about a dull knife is it doesnt go as deep when you slip. Lansky...

True, true except the Lansky part! I'm over 20 years past that system and 4-5 others to where I am now. The Lansky was fine if and when I had time to dick around with sharpening knives. I want a knife as sharp as possible as quickly and effortlessly as possible. All of our kitchen knives have for some years bern sharpened and kept razor sharp with our Chef's Choice Knife Sharpener. In fact, we gave all of our kids one for Christmas!

For skinning it seems as though I've tried them all and have settled on the Accu-Sharpener in my shed and in the field skinning hot. Again, I want fast and I want razor sharp so a stroke or two with the Accu-Sharp and that's what I've got. Just ask my left forefinger while skinning the 4th hot coyote of the day in the back of a field!!!
