Kitchen knife sharpening jig
Hi All;
For the life of me I couldn't sharpen SWMBO's kitchen knives. Thanks to YouTube, I found my problem - I wasn't consistent at keeping the stone at the proper angle. I was actually rounding the knife edge...
Further research showed me all sorts of sharpening guides that hold the stone at a constant angle but I wasn't keen to pay the price besides I had perfectly good diamond files in my toolbox.
So I dived into my off-cuts bin and came up with a sharpening guide that does the job. The only thing that I actually purchased was the magnets that hold the blade. A couple of wood clamps keep the blade from sliding down the angle guide.
The jig works like a charm and, frankly, I never knew knives could be so sharp...
SWMBO is pleased!

Great stuff - but also have a look at the Lansky knife sharpening system which should give you some extra ideas.

I would prefer back to edge. It would tend to leave a burr on the edge much the same as a honing steel does.
