What is the BEST and easiest to use knife sharpener on the market. Something that will put close to a factory edge on a knife and will bd razor sharp. Not some science project that has 20 page instruction manual. I'm leaning toward electric sharpeners by smiths and chief choice . Any input would be great.
Sound's like a lot of work to me. I use a 6'' fine file, a sharpening stick and a fine grit hone stone. Comes out razor sharp.
Check out the chefs choice electric sharpener. I have 2 friends who use them and both sharpen my hunting knives and they come back really sharp. Plus it only takes about 5 minutes. There model has 3 slot. The first one is not necessary if your knife is maintained. Just the last two (I think the last one is s strop). Either way it is easy to use and does a good job. The last time I read the reviews after a google search there were several web sites that said it was one of the best home use electric sharpeners.
Until he dies my Pop.
This isn't cheap but it works wonders.
I bought one almost a year ago.
I could just throw my knife away and buy a new one every time I kill a deer and I would still be money ahead over buying that!
That maybe. It depends what you want or need that sharpener for. I plan on making money with it.

Kirch, I just purchased a LANSKY 5-stone precision knife sharpener set. The sytem is easy to use & costs around $35. It works great on all our knives. If you spend about 10 extra minutes using the fine and extra fine (yellow) on each knife, the edge comes out pretty close to factory sharp.
To resharpen say 3 or four knives (after an elk for example) it takes me about 45-60 minutes or two beers, and all knives are ready again for next years hunt.
