Sharpening knife (startrek.website)

I’m pretty sure I made a dent in my blade. It will be the first time I’ll tried to sharpen it on a wet stone so I’m pretty stressed

I was wondering if a Sharpen Wizard (IIRC it’s the name, it’s a tool with 3 V notch to sharpen knives) will do it.

Other advice will do, like how you find rolling sharpeners, etc.

Take your time, watch videos, and practice on the stone. They are tried and true and if you screw up it's still recoverable! Trust that you can do it!

Rolling sharpeners and gimmicky things like pull through electric or non electric sharpeners do not do enough (for me).

For daily driving i took the leather strop off a worksharp guided field sharpener . Strop comes off because i wash it regularly and the leather doesnt stay good/clean.

If i need more i use wetstones.

I work as a wholesale meat cutter so I really do need sharp knives.

I believe in you!
