[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1666563, member: 2736"] I build custom knifes also and the Work Sharp is the best I have found for a portable sharpener. I use a 4 square belt sander for my knifes and the Work Sharp Is the closest thing to it. Be sure and look at the different uses and the proper angle to set the tool for the best results and longest sharpness life for that use. Unlike kitchen knives, A good custom knife should never see a steel to sharpen it. the steel puts a sharp edge on it but it is fragile in hunting conditions and needs frequent sharpening. The proper angle and finish will make a good blade last an entire hunting season if it is not abused. Kitchen Knives can benefit from the work sharp if you go with a 22 to 25 o angle. they will stay sharp longer when using them on chopping blocks, or heaven forbid on plastic cutting boards. (Some women like to use plastic because it can be cleaned easy). This may be more information needed but there it it. A good quality Diamond stone can be used in the field for touch up if power is not handy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
