All of this razor honing has gotten me to thinking that maybe I should try my hand at sharpening the kitchen knives. Do you have any recommendations for angled sharpening guides?
I realize that this question may get me skewered, so Ill say that eventually Ill be good at free-hand sharpening, but I need a point of reference to start with. I also realize that different knives may require different angles, so, is there an adjustable one, or a set of guides that I can get? Ill also tell you that Im thinking of using a BBW, or an old diamond stone I found, so nothing too serious for the moment, and that my kitchen knives are nothing special, just a random assortment of good-will finds, so I wont feel too bad about messing them up.
Thanks in advance for the discussion.
