Amazon.com: GROOVED CERAMIC KNIFE SHARPENER: Kitchen & Dining@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dkY8Xy5HL.@@AMEPARAM@@41dkY8Xy5HL
I have been using knife sharpeners like this for a long time. There is a kitchen shop near here that sells them for $1.99 each. I run my knives (single pass each direction) through one of these each time I use them. The knives stay sharp and I have never had any issues. The sharpeners do wear out, but one usually lasts me a year or longer before I spend another two bux.
Now...
After reading lots of threads here recently on knife sharpeners, I'd like for someone to explain to me why I should not use what I'm using. There has to be some valid reason that a $200-300 sharpening system is better than this. I like the looks of those Wicked Edge and Edge Pro systems and I'm trying to convince myself that I might actually benefit somehow by owning one...
