Hey guys. Has anyone used one of these KnifeMaster Pro Sharpening Systems before? I'm not so sure that it would be the best thing to put a razor to one of them... I'd like to get some opinions before I make my decision to get one. If you've never heard of it, you can check it out at this link Knife-Sharpening-System.
I think that I heard my razors cry when I clicked that link. For that money, just get a set of Norton waterstones and a DMT 8C.
Not something I would put a razor anywhere near!!!
Amen to that brother!Quote:

Umm, no. Unless you really hate your razors!
When I have a razor that balks I show it that picture and it gets with the program rite quick.
Don't buy it unless it has water on it. You will burn you blades up.
Looks like a $40 Harbor Freight belt grinder with $10 worth of belts thrown in.
Belt Sander with 1'' X 30'' Sanding Belt
Caveat emptor.
Oh, and it's not for honing a razor.
Save your cash and get a Norton 4k/8k, a DMT 325 and Lynn's DVD.
Thanks, I wouldn't put one of my razors to it either. I bought my Nortons from Lynn about five months ago, they do just fine. A friend asked me to sharpen his KA-BAR with my stones, and I agreed. I don't want to ruin my stones, this thing is stainless and hard to sharpen. I need a DMT for it I think.
Not necessarily. And a DMT is not necessarily faster than a synthetic stone.
For a knife such as ka-bar, I just use a 200 / 1000 grit stone.
If you're sharpening a knife, DMT is the way to go. I basically have this kit:Quote:

It's a nice guided system, and it's been my go-to for all my knives for a long while. The adjustable guide makes sure you keep a consistent angle on the knives. Not sure which ka-bar your friend has, but the thickness of the blade might not fit if it's a big one...
I have one and it does a good job on knives but I'd never put my razors to it. Besides, it's too much fun sharpening them by hand to mechanize the process.
