Thanks for the reply mate. I have seen those before, look like a practical bit of kit.

Cheers!
I used one at Uni when I worked at a camping shop, ended up buying one. My $2 Woolies kitchen knife was so sought after in the dorm kitchen I had to label the handle to stop it from going walking. Years later and my father, ever the champion of a sharp kitchen knife, remarked on my kitchen knifes he was using to cut chicken. Again, cheap knives and a basic tungsten/ceramic sharpener. He was impressed. Needless to say I still use the same system.
I understand a quality knife would hold the edge longer. The main disadvantage is if they are sharpened at a particular angle, the sharpener will make its own-angled edge. If this doesn't bother you then thats fine. If it does, you may be best off with a dedicated hone or an adjustable angled one.

I have been having a bit of a look for an electric knife sharpener and was hoping someone on here had some experience.
They range anywhere from under $100 to $500. Not sure I’d want to drop $500 on one though.
I have a few filleting, hunting, and kitchen knives to sort out. I normally use a stone however it will take me a month of Sundays to get it al done.
Anyone on here have any recommendations?
