Someone, who shall remain unnamed, knocked his tri-hone knife sharpener off a shelf and it broke. Now he needs a new one. Suggestions?

No work sharp belt sander types or v shaped business.

Warthog.

My Gatco Sharpener is going on 15 years and still kicking

I use Chicago Cutlery knives and a good stainless sharpening rod . Works for me .

I got a great smiths tri hone on amazon, I am old school hand sharpener.

Work sharp.

Sure do like mine.

I use my belt sander with a worn belt holding the blade at and angel away from the direction of the belt rotation and finish them with a rod. It is quick and quite satisfactory. Not up to the standards of school-of-the-art sharpening I'm sure, but it serves my purpose.

Very similar to what I had. Mine was gray, light gray and white.

I've got the same one. Best sharpening ever.

Work Sharp

Cheers,

my suggestion is just get a good stone, I like to do it by hand "more control" I use any stone that works for me no brand loyalty, just put an edge on my kukuri with a stone ready to chop something.

I like the DMTs. My favorite is the diamond steel v but hard to find.

Get a set of quality Arkansas stones (available through Rockler Woodworking). I have a course, medium, and extra fine that I have been using for 15 years now and will last met the rest of my life. All 3 can be had for under $100. They are large enough to handle anything you want to put on them.
