[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2537610, member: 5412"] He says to send it out to a professional because he doesn't know how to do it himself. I sharpen all of my knives by hand. Free hand, and you can get a close shave when I'm done. Its all about keeping the same angle on the blade, and having a "feel" when that angle has been reached. I'll admit it takes years to develop the "feel". When a kid, I sharpened knives for the neighbors to get a little money. My wife thinks nothing of using a razor sharp blade to cut a steak on a ceramic plate. Just ruined that edge, but I know to not say a word. Self preservation. :D The ceramic sharpener that was shown by the OP works really great in the beginning, but it loads up the pores in the ceramic rods, and there is no way to clean them. There are ceramic sharpening tools out there that one can take the rods out of and use a combo of hot water and Babo, comet, or some cleaner like that to remove the embedded steel particles and freshen up the surface.
