Knife Sharpening
5 Tips To Getting The Most Out Of Your Knife Sharpening System
Gone are the days when a bench stone was only knife sharpening system available to sharpen the blade of your household knife or a professional tool. Now, we have a range of choices that includes Bench Grinder, Chain Saw Sharpeners, and Grinding Wheels, etc. As always, there are two ways to use these tools of knife sharpening business: a right way and a wrong way. The right way will help you get most out of your knife sharpening system and the use the wrong way might blunt the edge of your knives and tools, if not break it. And we obviously will talk about the right way here.
5 tips to get most out of a Knife Sharpening System Tip 1: get zircon alumina oxide based grinding wheel
Although aluminum oxide is the most common material used in a grinding wheel, I will suggest you to go for zircon alumina as it works best with steel and certain types of metal alloys. Grinding wheel that has zircon alumina in it will be durable.
Tip 2: Look at the grit size of the grinding wheel
Grit size is another thing you need to look at while deciding on a grinding wheel. A higher number in the context of grit size means finer grain and a lower number means coarser grain. Keep this in mind and this will decide the output of your knife sharpening system.
Tip 3: Ensure steadiness of bench grinder wheel for better accuracy
A bench grinder is cheaper sharpening equipment that can be used to sharpen kitchen knives, drill bits, hand tools, and cutters, etc. The wheel which is used in this sharpening equipment comes of different sizes. You not only need to find the right wheel size for the bench grinder tool you will use for your sharpening system, but you will also need to use a tool rest to provide steadiness to the wheel. This has significant impact on sharpening accuracy.
Tip 4: Choose automatic chain sharper over manual one
This is no-brainer, but still I thought to mention it here. Automatic chain sharpener will discount the human error from the equation. When using an automatic chain sharpener, you will not require caring for the proper placement of the sharper tooth, or care for pulling the head promptly up.
Tip 5: Go with a professional knife sharpener
Well, at the first glance this tip may look out of the league. But just one closer look will tell you how wrong your presumption was, particularly when you need to sharpen your professional tools. All knife sharpening systems work great, but only when handled by a qualified person. Let go of your DIY (Do it yourself) attitude, it will hurt your business, and hire a pro to do this job. There are quite a few available.
Don't pinch pennies if you can save dollars in price of your professional tools by hiring someone who is into knife sharpening business for many years.

What is best knife sharpening method?
Anyone have any tried and true methods of sharpening knives or types of knife sharpeners that really perform well? Thanks
I'll have to disagree with a lot of answers here, but here's my 0.02$.
I own most of the types of sharpeners listed in various answers, complete list here - http://www.zknives.com/knives/sharpening/index.shtml
That includes several diamond sharpeners, natural and synthetic whetstones, Edge Pro apex sharpening system, Spyderco sharpmaker, a belt grinder, various microabrasives.
Lansky isn't the best if we talk about sharpening systems. Edge pro is far more versatile and faster as well. You can set angles with much better precision and stones cut a lot better than Lansky.
Whetstones and in general any benchstones require the skill to hold persistent angle. Something that isn't very easy in the beginning.
However, something as simple as sandpaper + mousepad will work and it's much more novice friendly that anything else listed above, except for the sharpening systems, but those have much higher pricetag.
Detailed explanation and couple tricks on how to hold the angle are here - http://www.zknives.com/knives/articles/sandpapermousepad.shtml
Using proper abrasives I sharpen the mirror polished edges that are 0.25micron, which is equivalent of 100, 000 grit for my kitchen knives and light use cutters. Although heavy choppers get the same treatment, just at a thicker angle. Polished edges resist damage much better than coarse ones.
Whetstones are good and use them to practice my skills, plus for certain jobs they work faster.
But in the end there is no whetstone of 100 000 grit. The best Japanese whetstones go to 30K-40K and those cost above 1500$. Compare that to diamond spray that costs 10-12$ per bottle.
If not that, you can get 0.3 mic abrasives real cheap.
Another problem with the stones is that they come in one grit, or they have 2 grits, on 2 surfaces. To get a good edge that is nowhere near enough. Either you will have rough edge and loose a lot of cutting ability and edge durability, or you will have very fine grits and then you spend hours on sharpening and most likely end up very frustrated.
Typically at least 3-4 different grits are needed to get a good edge.
So far I have sharpened everything with Sandpaper/microabrasive films. That includes ceramic knives. It's real hard, but doable.
So, the simplest and most effective is still sandpaper or abrasive films on the mouspad or leather surface.
The edge you see on this picture - http://www.zknives.com/knives/knimgtmpl.shtml?/images/knives/fold/bm/710/bm710spp03.jpg
was done with sandpaper and microabrasives, 220 grit, then 600 grit, then 1000, 2000, 15 mic. 5 mic, 2 mic, 0.5mic, 0.25mic. Plus stropping on plain leather.
It not just shaving sharp, but hair whittling sharp.
You can easily stop at 2000 grit though and then just strop on plain leather, gives very usable utility edge.
Same with those two - http://www.zknives.com/knives/knimgtmpl.shtml?/images/knives/kitchen/aritsugu/artsgpair03.jpg
In the end, ideally you'd need combination of different types to handle all sorts of sharpening works, but the most versatile and cost effective is still sandpaper/mousepad.
