Finding a good knife sharpener


Hi, Pedro, I’m having trouble finding good knife sharpeners. I don’t mean the ones that are just a block that you rub your knife against. Those sharpeners are kind of hard to get the same angle every time, then you end up making the knife less sharp.

According to our experts, whetstones are an ideal way to put a sharp edge on a knife, Zachary. Check out our knife-sharpening video (just type “knife sharpening” in the search box). We’ll show you how to get the right angle.

    I just got a new knife sharpener and it works great.
    That company’s name is “Smith” and the sharpener is an “edge stick sharpener”
    Hope it helps.
