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?
Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?
Ya. Water stones, imo, demand quality.
However, you can get a hunting knife razor sharp using that crappy little grey stone that came with it, and some spit.
Waaay nicer using quality though.
