Knives

I use a Mino sharp Med and a ex-fine water stone for about all of my cooking and other knifes.

I have never found the need to use any touch up system. Blade is ready to rock after three to five passes through the hog. Its fast, its easy and the bevel is the same every time and all the time.cubb wrote:For the guys who use the warthog system, do you use any other touch up stones? Or is this the only thing you use on your knives?
I was horrible at sharpening knives before I bought the warthog. I was hog hunting in Florida when I first saw it in action. There was a guy that was a butcher at a large grocery store who moonlighted in the evenings processing hogs and we would take several over to him every evening. He and his sons had hog processing down to a science. They had two knives they would use and after each hog was complete they would hand you the knife they just used and ask you to run it through the warthog a few times. The first time the guy said that to me I told him I would rather not as I was horrible at sharpening knives and didn't want to ruin his. He said you cant hurt it that the sharpener was foolproof. And he was right. I handed him back a razor sharp knife and vowed to buy one immediately when I got home.

That does look like an interesting device.
How well does it sharpen a blade near the hilt? The picture suggested to me that a short bladed knife would be difficult to sharpen and a long bladed knife would be difficult to sharpen near the hilt?
Am I mistaken?
