Does it allow you to fix the angle of the edge? I have used a number of sharpeners that don’t and I am just not experienced enough to get a consistent angle every time.
- causi 4y agoYeah I don't think I've ever used a sharpening system that let me go from "well at least it cuts things now, that's better" to shaving-sharp.
- IgorPartola 4y agoThere do seem to be systems like this which basically hold the blade at a fixed angle as you drag it over a diamond surface.
- mywittyname 4y agoPart of this is because it takes a lot of work to get a blade shaving sharp, especially hardened tool steel. However much effort you put into it initially, quadruple it. That's why professionals use machines to sharpen their tools.
- diab0lic 4y agoThere are plenty of angle guides that’ll help you set a specific angle. They tend to be object specific though because they typically involve clamping the blade to hold it in a fixed position. For example the Lansky and Worksharp Precision Adjust work for knives but not chisels. The Veritas Mk ii works for chisels and planes.
