In the beginning, I tried various honing systems because they are sooo easy to use, until I realised that they tended to break my knives. For several years now, I have been sharpening my knives every two months with Japanese whetstones with the best results. New knives even get better at gliding the blade with each sharpening due to the polishing. For chisels, plane blades and carving irons, I use the Tormek wet grinding system, where the carving irons are intensively re-polished. There are no simple solutions for sharpening cutting blades if you want the best results.

Can anyone please point me to good knife sharpeners that can also be used with serrated blades?

It is not only the knives that wear out and therefore need to be sharpened regularly. The whetstones also wear out. It is therefore absolutely necessary to sharpen the whetstone from time to time in order to obtain an absolutely flat sharpening surface. So-called whetstones are available for this purpose. These are still missing from the range....

Hello, is the Rösle Wetzstahl 25cm knife sharpener that was recently available for sale again? Thank you

I find that stones with 8000-13000 grit are still missing. These could also be used for razors. Leather straps could also be added to the range to match. Naniwa and Shapton, for example, are two companies that offer stones in this class.
