Knife sharpener help

I have that sharpener and like it a lot. It is called the "Furi". It is easy to use and maintains a very good edge. I suppose you could get a better edge with a hand sharpening system, but it is not as easy to use so doesn't get used as often as it should be.

Here is the model I got although I found it on overstock.com at a much better price. http://www.amazon.com/Furi-Tri-Fing...3?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1271438973&sr=8-3

Here is my original thread which might be of some help

If you got quality kinves, I would stay away from electric. It's too easy to overheat the blade and ruin the temper.

I use a Wart Hog and love it. http://www.v-sharp.com/ Just noticed they have a new model, I have the classic. Once it's set up you don't have to change anything.:clap2::clap2:

In my opinion, the one I got seems better than the pro version which is permanently attached to the counter.

Mine is very portable, and the three different sharpeners interchange very easily into the unit. Once you get the proper angle grind with the #1 stage, you go to stage #2. You only use stage #3 to get a very fine honed edge, which I don't like all that much on my knives. Consequently, I use stage #2 for five or six strokes after each time I use a knife.
