They are both persuasive points
any suggestions for an electric sharper? Or attributes to look for in one?
Looking around when I did my research this one seems to provide a reasonable amount of guidance for the blade, ensuring a more consistent angle AND the three levels provides more control over the sharpening process. You might not use the first slot all the time if you are merely doing a bit of a tidy up.
On a few other sharpeners even with a guide there was a fair degree of potential variability on the angle based on how you held the blade. Lots of reviews and commentary on YT and there abouts.
Um, no - because I can throw my DE blade out when it needs to be replaced. Of course I don't use a straight because ...
Up to a point, those are wise words. A roughly sharpened knife is better than a blunt one. ...
That is my thinking too. My BiL has these uber expensive Japanese knives, for which he paid top $$ at The Essential Ingredient, which I've noticed getting progressively less sharp - as he cannot (does not?) sharpen them ...
the horror.
ah well. Honestly, better use it and replace your knives every few years, life is too short for blunt knives.
Yep, and I have bog standard Mundial block knives - nothing fancy there!
Whetstones will be better BUT ...
