Easy Way to Sharpen a Knife

[@donfarmerjr3371]

Cody, you are doing this upside down. Lay the knife on a table and pull the sharpener over the blade.

Don, Interesting. I guess that would be another way to do it. This is how I see other people using them. I do see your way shown in demo pictures. I guess both would work! The way that is least likely to cut you is by mounting the carbide sharpener on a table or filet table.

EXACTLY DON!!! I've been using these type sharpeners over 30 years, the way you describe. This video literally mad me cringe. I was waiting to see fingers drop.

I cannot and WILL not use a sharpener that directs the knife blade toward my fingers; just me I guess!

Yeah, I thought that the first time I saw someone use one. That is definitely a good practice when filleting fish or cutting anything. One slip of the knife and you cur yourself. I have not heard of anyone cutting themselves when using this sharpener, although I am sure it has happened! Some people mount a carbide sharpener to their fillet table. That is another good option.
