OUTDOORS55 is a great resource on YouTube. I’ve bought a couple of stones based on his vids and have been super happy with them both.

Buy a wicked edge. It is the best sharpening system I’ve ever used.

I could look at a knife and dull it worse than it was. Got the Worksharp Precision Adjust and was finally able to get good edges on my blades. Just upgraded to a wicked edge and doing even better.

I've enjoyed the Spyderco Sharpmaker. Prior to to that used diamond hones for rough work, a soft then a hard Washita stone, then strop with rouge. I've made knives for 30 years,and build the initial edge on several increasingly fine 2x72 belts, then a buffer. The Sharpmaker is the first "system" that I've thought could do better than I could by hand. Not to say that the other "systems" (Lansky, Wicked Edge, etc) aren't just as good.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Warthog knife sharpeners, V-sharp A-4 model. I’ve been learning a little taxidermy from a buddy of mine. He hand fleshes all his deer hides and this is the system he uses. I’ve never seen a system that can keep a razor blade or a scalpel as sharp as this system does. And fast too. Well worth the money.

Its all about the angle . Any sharpener will do the job if the correct angle i maintained . Buy or make a jig that you can use to keep the correct angle and you can do it. That being said the bet sharpeners for some folk s will have a way to adjust for different angles . And buy a Rada sharpener best $15 you will ever spend

I use the curved edge on the window of my truck. 3-4 strokes on each side and its razor sharp This right here ^^^^ The unglazed rim on bottom of a ceramic coffee cup works great too

Warthog V-Sharp are worth the money, expensive but will last a lifetime. Looked at one yesterday Probably buy one soon. The angle is adjustable on the V Sharp
