Oh and I have a couple DMT folding 4 inch hones as well, in course and fine. And a Smiths course diamond stone Patty bought me over 20 years ago and it's STILL going strong!

I have and use the DMT hones as well. I had them long before I started at Scrap Yard.

OK, I have several different methods; diamond stones, Japanese water stones, pull-through type sharpeners, 1' x 30" belt grinder, 4' X 36" belt grinder, Smith's sharpening kits, and ceramic stones.

When I was in high school, I used my grandfather’s oil stone. Then I bought a set of Arkansas oil stones. I used them for many years until I bought a KME sharpening set. I have a Ken Onion Work Sharp for my long knives and machetes. For chisels, carving tools and plane irons, I have a set of diamond stones. For my Japanese kitchen knives, I have a set of Japanese water stones and some Shapton glass stones. For my straight razors, I have a Belgian Coticule, a Nakayama Kiita Kan Koppa, an Ozuku mizu blue tomae, and an Asano Stamped MIkawa Shiro Nagura Set. Since I like the results of a good sharpening but absolutely hate the pure tedium of sharpening, I have been trying to convince my wife to do the sharpening for me. Nothing I can do will convince her. Anybody have any good suggestions?

Ray, tell your wife she can have more time to work in the garden and shovel snow when appropriate.

If I want them sharp, I do them If I want them sharp enough to make your eyes bleed just by looking at them, I ask my dad to check my edge. He uses a centuries old stone set, (or a steel if I didn't do too bad) and then follows up with a strop

I have a co-worker that has a sharpening system from russia called TSPROF SHARPENING SYSTEM. It was incredible, but it takes a lot of time for one knife. Wranglerstar made a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3SbEWFSA8s I always wanted one but at the price of another Busse Kin knife I always opt for another knife.

Now THAT is nice! Pricey for a sharpener, but nice.

The most I have spent on a sharpener was the Work Force; it's NOT the "Ken Onion edition".

There are plenty of demonstrations of people putting mirror edges on knives. There is even one video of a guy whittling a hair on the edge.

A knife maker lives not far from us who puts a screaming sharp edge on his knives. I just wish that he made bigger blades that I could afford.
