That’s cool

I broke the wiener dog out for kitchen duty last night. I got it used and it was butter knife sharp got it work able with stones when I got it 9 years go but now I need to reprofile the primary bevel. The work sharp KO edition I have does a decent job but I really don’t like the convex edge on smaller knives. I want another sharpener.

I talked myself out of it, already having several knives in that same size range.

Thanks, I really like it. It’s like the perfect “one knife” for me.

Seriously, we do have lot of good folks here.

Thanks SkunkHunter, this seems like a great tight knit group. I plan to be in for the long haul.

Welcome to the Yard. Yeah, Sykco knives are great. I see that you are also a Becker fan.

Thanks Ray, I am a Becker fan. I’ve liked SYKCO for years but didn’t get one till very recently. The Res C handle is a game changer, never felt a more comfortable handle.

What a long day. 5am-5pm at work and a 45min commute each way. Hopefully it won’t be like that for the rest of the week.

The one I would really like is the Dogfather or son of dogfather or a dog soldier. I’m a fan of 7-10 inch fixed blades.

I looked for a DF for about 4 years till a member here dug into his collection and hooked me up.

Interesting thing. The short height combined with the thickness and curve means my work sharp KO won’t sharpen 1/2 of the blade.

The DF is pretty hard to find, how do you like the Work Sharp? I use the mouse pad/sand paper method. I get pretty good results. I wasted too much money on sharpening stones.

I’ve been really happy with it. Practice on a junk knife snd then go to town. The wiener dog is the first knife I’ve struggled to sharpen. I like to use stones as well but the KO Work sharp comes out when I need to sharpen something and don’t have time for stones. I’ve found I’d like to have a more precise V grind option though for some of my 4in and smaller blades.

The convex edge looks good but it seems no matter how much material I remove I still have a dual micro bevel in the circled area.
