Knife Sharpner
But if you are looking for a great knife sharpening system, i second the motion on the Lansky system. It is awesome and very easy to use.

RE: Kinfe Sharpner
I have a lansky and wouldn't wish it on anyone.......just my opinion. It's the hardest thing to get locked in and get going with I've ever attempted (as far as knife sharpening).
Cabela's has a (________) model 120 that I'm going to try (electric). Matt/PA uses this one and says it does the trick. I'm willing to give it a go.

RE: Kinfe Sharpner
OK....I'm lansky challenged, then.
Here's how "I" see it....
I try to lock my knife (that isn't flat) into a flat clamp that doesn't hold it securely......then get a little skewer looking thing and insert it into a corresponding sharlening stone. Then.....I hold the clampy thing in one hand and sharpen one side of my knife with each stone (switching sides).
Call me a klutz.....but I find nothing about this practice "easy". It's a cheap enough "system"....and it would likely be easier if it was mounted on a bench.
