After screwing up a blade on an expensive knife I decided to give those kits a go.. I looked at teh spydco and the lansky but found them a little expesive I normally use had stone and have a dimand stone also which works really quit well.
I was in the buithers trade years ago and know how to sharpen by hand but you know how it goes you get older blah blah
Anyhow I tried the blade master it is basically a cheaper version of the lansky kit and looks from pictures to be exactly the same!! it came with three stones course medium and fine there were three guide rods honing oil and a handle witha slot in angle clamp.
So.. I put all this lot together and start with the wifes kitchen knives all of them in fact.. I decided to select the course medium and fine each knife spending a few minutes on each.
I steeled up all the knives afterwards and..
Boy are they sharp! I could shave with each one and to cut paper well it amazed me at how sharp the knifes were bearing in mind they are el cheapo knives.. I used to spend a lot of time caring for my knives this gadjet has made the same task much faster and probabaly more reliable results Although I stell hand sharpen the axe and my tools I think ill continue using the blademaster to get an esge on all the knives..
