I use the Spyderco Sharp Maker for most things.
If it's a larger blade or something tricky... Send it to Tyler.

The Sharpmaker is a very simple and effective sharpening system.

2. i didnt feel like doing it when I could just pay him to do it.
3. I knew the end result would be great.

I'd like to see if it will touch your PM2
Yeah...not sure the sharpmaker will even scratch the surface of CTS-20CP
It works best on the softer stuff for sure. I have had good results on stuff like O1 and 154CM... up to about S30V then it starts to get tedious to get an edge.

Spyderco 'Sharp Maker' is the industry standard for sharpeners. There is no other "sharpening system" that can get a knife as sharp as easily. Knives up to S30V @ 60 hrc are quite easy. Harder steels can take some time to reach their zenith, but that's true on any system.
Can you get a good knife sharper than what you could on a 'Sharp Maker'? Yes, but it would require years of practice with expensive traditional Arkansas stones and a leather strop.
The 'Sharp Maker' can be had NIB for $50, and it takes 15 minutes to learn how to get your knives so sharp they will scare people. IMO no other equipment can touch it for the price, or the time investment.

I've never used the Sharp Maker, clearly its not a bad way to go. I really like this though, however the price tag alone scares folks.

Since I made this video (as my first time using... was on this film). I have gotten much better at using the system. It does a great job. Just one man's opinion.
