Over the years I’ve acquired a small selection of knife sharpeners. I started out with the Spyderco system over 25 years ago. Mine only hadone angle setting and fine and medium rods. The rods are still good after all these years, but I lost the base a long time ago.
I then picked up a Lansky system about 20 years ago. This system was great at that time, but newer systems have surpassed it. The abrasive rods are small and narrow so not much cutting surface.
The next system I got was the first gen Wicked Edge. This was an awesome system that gave me really consistent and repeatable edges. The drawbacks of the system is the price and the setup. I had to make a chart for each of my knives to remember the various clamp settings.
My latest purchase was the Work Sharp Ken Onion with the grinder attachment. The grinder attachment is a MUST with this system. This is my favorite sharpener to get knives sharpened fast! I still use the Wicked Edge on my quality knives, but love the KO for its speed and efficiency.
