Knife sharpener

[Mark Bolam]

Tonight's scintillating topic is can anyone recommend a really good knife sharpener?

I love my cooking, and have a couple of great kitchen knives, but more than a few that are pretty dull compared to when I bought them.

The two sharpeners in my drawer are pretty poor.

Time wasters and Sunday booze bags welcome of course, but it's actually a serious query.

Lansky do a good system. Standard and diamond versions. It's actually a reprofiler, so will do dull blades and knackered ones too.

Get a multi purpose tool. A 9 inch angle grinder will do the job just fine and may be useful in workshop too....

We use Fiskars knife and axe sharpener, came with the hatchet. Works really well.

I've always used the old fashioned sickle stones to sharpen my kitchen knives.

Should be able to pick 'em up locally.
