Wondering if anyone has used Spyderco bench sharpening set up.
I sharpen my Landwell knives (Med) on a fine India stone (dry) using Tom Blodgett's (Jende) "nickel/dime" method, finishing on a metal y-shaped steel that I got from Weber reed's. It works ok -- I can get a consistent edge without a ton of edge wear or curvature. When I can no longer get an edge w the steel I go back to the stone.
The problem is I am sharpening the knife constantly, and I would love a more convenient method to dress the knife while scraping. The steel is 35° and ideally I would have a 35° V shaped desk sharpener but this is not commercially available.
So my questions are 1. How critical is this 35° angle? -- the iSpyder gadget would allow me a 40°; would that be sufficient?. 2. If I used a higher grit stone to finish the knife would I last longer between sessions on the steel?
I know knife sharpening can be a contentious topic, but look forward to everyone's insight!
