You weren't using the safety guards...I'm telling!

I haven't used the guards for over a decade, they just get in the way of proper sharpening

I was just going to ask you what degree on the Sharpmaker you use....?.... As well as I wanted to mention that I tried two knives tonight with your method, They came out pefect (well as perfect as I can make them as of now)! I did try my ladies folder by turning the edges of the stones inward (> <) towards each other and that worked well also. Have you tried it that way?

I used that method on serrated for years, but the method I demo'd will do serrated as well, so it's one way for everything

Never tried the Spyderco system, but have used the Lansky system since the mid-seventies.

I've migrated to use the Apex Edge Pro, but will still use the Spyderco Sharpmaker for quick touch-ups using your method.
