I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?...
Get a shapton 1000 grit ceramic whetstone, they're excellent and not terribly expensive.
Those 4 sided ones are neat and all, but a decent stone will give you a better edge especially if you combine it with stropping.
I hate to suggest r*ddit, but r/sharpening was pretty good
Get a honing steel if you don't already have one to help maintain the edge as you use the blade too, I keep one in the kitchen.
YouTube would probably be another place with good sharpening tutorials but you really just need a stone or two, an old leather belt to use as a strop, some stropping paste, and a honing steel. Shouldn't cost more than $50-60 total.
The stones eventually wear down of course, but they'll last a good while and you can flatten them when they start to dish.
I've never really given that any thought lol, I couldn't even tell you the brand I have, I just looked up "stropping paste". It's some green stuff that came in a white capsule.
If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.
