I spent a few days with a cheap knife, a black marker pen & a 1K stone. Taught me a lot. Thought I was doing great until I realised I was covering about 75% of the edge with a forward stroke and the remaining 25% with the backward stroke, things have since evened out and going back and forth is only part of the arsenal.

As mentioned use diamonds.

A short while ago I ran accross a ceramic blade at Target. Not high dollar or "quality" maybe as are mentioned here but i thought it was one I could afford and play with. My wife was mad 2 days later when I got out the hones and started playing with it. I did get it sharper.

Having worked many jobs during my lifetime. I was fortunate enough to cook professionaly in the mid to late 70's. French cuisine to be specific, as a saucier. I used many knives during my 5 to 6 years stint... I bought a Ken Onion Shun Chefs Knife just a few years back and absolutely love this knife. I highly recommend the line of Shun Knives.


I also really would like to pick up a Bob Kramer Shun Chefs Knife. It's a thing of beauty...

I consider myself a Redneck my friend, I may not be the sharpest crayon in the box...but I still am rather effective. We try to help one another out here & not call one another names. We are an international forum, so things can be taken differently, so please consider this. This is not your normal forum that you can freely bash someone, we try to keep it respectful & factual.

For an answer to your question, here is another place to look...Butch is a stand up guy: Harner Knives
