Ron...

Just curious seeing as how you mentioned you have "Ken Onion WorkSharp"... do you feel that it puts a better edge on than what one can do by hand (providing they know what they're really doing)? I only ask this because I figured it would save time bringing a knife blade back to life that has been abused by someone that has no concept of how to sharpen by hand and does not maintain their knives. I maintain my knives and I really don't like using any type of grinding equipment on my blades.

I use steels to maintain the edge while I'm butchering, and I steel and strop my blades prior to putting them to bed, but I've thought about purchasing one of the K-Onion systems to put an edge on knives that people bring me that have been abused just to save myself some elbow grease!!
