For all you guys that have good luck sharpening with an oil stone my hat is off to you. I guess I failed to keep the angle the same or some other problem.My wife always laughed at me for spending so much time trying to get my knife sharp with a stone and failing. After I was done I would hand it to her and she would run it over a steel in her kitchen for about 30 seconds and it would be real sharp again. One day I got the bright idea I would try one of those Chef's Choice 3 stage electric sharpeners which I borrowed from my brother. Told the wife I would show her how to really sharpen a knife and proceeded to grind away. I pulled it out and the blade was ruined and looked like someone took a file to it crossways. She is still laughing about it and does all my sharpening.
