      Awesome. I think I am going to pick that same one up in the next week or 2. I am pretty excited about it.

      That is pretty cool, but I do not have the drive or setup to allow for making that right now.

      Gotcha. I think I picked mine up at goodwill for $4 and ordered one of the stones from Amazon for 12-15 bucks. While the system works, there are flaws and it definitely leaves a little to be desired. The work sharp looks like it fills in the voids the lansky leaves.

      Out of curiosity, have you ever used the Lansky system? If so, how would you compare it to the Ruixin Pro?

      I wouldn't mind picking one of these up in the future for axes and bigger stuff, but im not a fan of the idea of removing so much material so fast. The room for error is larger than I care to deal.with.

      Nice. I'll give that a whirl to see if it makes a difference. Would be nice for touch ups and I could send it with my son when he moves out if it works well.

      I Don't think that is the issue. I use a Sharpie on my bevel and then watch that whenever I do sharpen. It is either my inability to hold the knife at a true 90゚ to the surface or because I picked the stones up 2nd hand, maybe they are worn out or clogged or whatever. Either way, I'm not a fan...

      I'm in my 40's. I definitely have plenty of cheap knives around to practice on. I have used stones before. When I was younger, I was quite skilled with them in boy scouts. I understand the benefits of having that skill. In a pinch, there's not a doubt that I could put an edge on a knife...

      Awesome. Thank you. It looks like this is going to be the one for me.

      Gotcha. I guess by small blades, I was talking about with a smaller profile. Think paring knife or something like that. Not so much length, but the height of the blade, if that makes sense.

      Which work sharp do you have?

      Sharpener options less than $200

      Yes, I mean the manual system. I'm not a big fan of power sharpeners due to removing too much material and the room for error is so much more. Does the work sharp precision adjust do smaller blades ok? The Clamp does look pretty slim like it would work well with the smaller blades than...

      I think I am finally ready to pick up a sharpening system to sharpen and maintain pocket knives and kitchen knives for myself and my family. I currently have a Spyderco Sharpmaker and a Lansky set. Both were picked up secondhand. I never had great luck with the Sharpmaker. I'm not sure if...
