Serious question: what’s the best type of knife sharpener for normal household use, hunting knives, etc.? I’ve suddenly realized all I have is the basic ketchen steel.

I use diamond faced sharpening plates. I never use a steel. I spent years using a knife to make a living in commercial kitchens, where lightweight, usable, sharp knives are a cornerstone.

I have yet to see a sharpening gadget that was worth anything for real use.

I would go with the Apex EdgePro.

It will put a nice edge on your knives and it is not hard to learn to use.

I really like their product. (In case you couldn't tell)
