I've used a wet stone for what seems like forever, but I'm looking at a myriad of tools and new products for doing this task. Are any of these better than using a stone? Thanks!
Does that Work Sharp sharpener work on ceramic knives?
#1- If you are experienced with a whet stone, these newfangled things don't do anything * better * .
#2- Whet stones are as much art as science, and lots of people lack the Mojo.
#3- Even if you are competent with whet stones, for dealing with either virgin or abused blade, it wil save time to use a gadget to establish basic edge geometry, and then do the final 20% or so Freehand with whet stone.
Recommendations for a serrated knife? I have an old (almost 30 years) Spyderco rescue knife. I've never really sharpened it and it has always accomplished every task. On a call last night I had to cut several inspection holes in drywall. By the third hole, I was basically pulling the knife through just to break the drywall. Any suggestions on how to give it a new life?
