i suck at angles i want a super simple unit that makes knifes shaveing sharp im thinking lansky diamond or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IT5F14/?tag=cpf0b6-20
i think i had the sharp maker . it did not do anything to my knifes. but it may of been user errorIf you just need to sharpen blades and want something that takes off very little metal at a time so it's hard to ruin anything, the Spyderco Sharpmaker is great. But if you need to reprofile blades, it will take you ages and it's probably not the kit for you.
Nice work! It takes some time and practice. Stones really are the best way to learn to sharpen IMO. I have tried a bunch of the jig systems and while they will help and give predictable results, nothing beats knowing how to free hand it.
For pocket knives if you want something simple that will quickly sharpen a knife the work sharp guided field sharpener is something that is useful. It gives you a couple grits, ceramic stone and strop all in a small package with guides. It is limited in size of knife you will want to sharpen and only produces a single kind of edge, but for pocketknives it is helpful if you are learning to free hand.
Work Sharp is great on modern hard steels.
haveing trouble geting pysh thru papper test. you know where you dont use a sliceing action you just let the blade fall thru paper my knife just wont do that. it slices fine
