@SETH RINGER
Sharpening a knife is easy. For years I did use a couple of sharpening stones and a lot of time. Usually got great results.
Fast forward a lot of years and I got smarter ( some say dumber) and got a
Ken Onion work sharp belt sharpening system.
This removes very little metal and is variable speed with belts from 120 grit for rough edges then work thru to a 600 grit. For the final polish it even comes with a 6,000 grit.
Angles are adjustable from 15-30 degrees as well.
I used a compromise angle of 22.5 degrees. This gives a wicked sharp and durable edge.
The beauty of the ken onion work sharp is you can start with a blade that won't even cut butter and have it scary sharp that will slice your eyeballs by looking at it in around five minutes.

This is an affordable, easy, fool proof sharpening system..

I make knives and have much more expensive, complicated tools for getting a razor edge on a blade…

But for quick easy edges on everything from kitchen knives to pocket knives I use the warthog…
