Knife sharpening....

Asking as to what you guys are using for stones and what angle for the your knife edge.
Are you using diamond, natural or man made stones?
Just curious.......

You hone a blade, you sharpen an axe.
23 degrees is what is believed to be the perfect angle.
A lot of bargain blades are set to 45 degrees for easy honing.

I use a belt sander to make the edge, and ceramic rods to keep them nasty sharp.

I use a Wicked Edge system. It is expensive but relatively easy to produce accurate angles. For me, it works well.

Couple years ago I was debating the idea of getting either a Wicked Edge or a TSPROF, the TSPROF won out. I went with the KO3 model and it works really good for the long kitchen knifes.

I can also get down to 13 degree angle (which is what one of the chief knives has). I put a 17 degree on all my pocket knifes.
