    Thanks! I reread directions and see I’ve been using the v-sharp wrong for 2 years.

    I actually have several Rada brand knives and use these on all of them. I also use the Rada sharpener on other knives but I don’t have any $200 chef knives. I do not use one on my pocket knives (use a Lansky) but I’m sure I could with good success. I understand why some people do not like them because they do take off some steel but certainly get most knives plenty good enough to use.

    The KME, Work Sharp Perfection, Wicked Edge and even my $20 (about 20 years old) Lansky, like all of the stick sharpeners, work great.

    I only have two dislikes in them. Some of them are extremely overpriced in my opinion and I don’t like the ones that need to be clamped to a table.

    KME makes a quality sharpener.

    I don’t have to use it because I know how to sharpen a knife…
    It’s basically a grinder…You don’t put a grinder on good knives. At least I don’t…I am sure it works great, if you don’t mind removing a bunch of metal.

    Well, Mr Holier Sharpener than thou, some of us can’t get it, no matter how much we try. I’m almost 61yrs old. I’ve tried dozens of gadgets and ways to sharpen knives over the years, and I just can’t get it. On the few sharpeners I have been able to figure out a little, it still takes me forever to get a really sharp blade. The electric sharpener I posted above is a dang good machine that works awesome and makes blades shaving sharp in a very short time.

    So you keep doing what you do, and I’ll keep doing what I do, and we’ll all be happy.

    And btw, if you read the OP, he said he was unable to use most regular sharpeners due to him having a stroke. I put forward a great option for him!!!!!

    I like that. Seems like a good way to learn how to free hand on stones.
