Hi guys!
I was reading some posts about knife sharpening lately..you all have great methods for getting a razor sharp blade..but there is this one thing that has kept me thinking..why is it that you don´t like electric sharpeners??Is it because they are not good enough or just because you guys think that all sharpening must be done by hand??I am asking because there is one selling for a great price at a local restaurant (which is closing and selling most of it´s stuff)..I have seen it sharpen a completely dull kitchen knife in just a few seconds and then I cut raw meat with it very easily..I guess that if I can slash raw meat I can slas an attacker, right??
Oh, btw, I don´t own any of those expensive knifes you guys can buy in the US (no such great things as super hard steel knifes here) I just own a couple of chinese folders, an argentinian butterfly knife and a taiwanese fixed blade, and none of them says what steel they are made of...)so i guess that the metal being too hard for the sharpeners is not an issue here..
Any opinions or answers?? Please be gentle because I know very little about knifes!
