[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2409085, member: 229"] How much do you want to spend? Also, what's the goal - sharpen one or two knives once a month? With more knives to sharpen and more frequent sharpening requirements, you can get into a situation where you really need to spend more on a fast/easy repeatable sharpening system. If the need isn't that much/frequent, then you can do as Dennis suggests and get a stone and learn to do a bit of sharpening free-hand - which requires more patience/practice than it does cash but it is honestly a good skill to master. The Spyderco Sharp Maker and Lansky systems are both good systems, but you can sort of tailer each to your needs (i.e. don't bother paying for diamond stones unless you're doing a lot of re-profiling and/or own knives with super-hard steels, etc.). If you've got a ton of knives to sharpen on a regular basis, then the answer I always have is the Wicked Edge. The Edge Apex Pro kit to me just isn't worth it when there are kits out there that accomplish what the Wicked Edge does. [/QUOTE]
