Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fillet Knife Sharpener

Bill, the sharpener instructions are correct...any angle factory grind will be changed to the machine's 15*...what chefs choice considers the best blend of sharpness and durability. Angles other than 15* take more passes....call me and I can explain how you know the angle in either stage 1 or stage 2 are reached before proceeding to the next stage, if instructions were not clear.

I definitely yield to Rex on this. For many reasons.

Thanks Rex. I got it with the burr thing. This sharpener is awesome but it does take a while on stage 1 the first sharpen. No complaints though as the end result is incredible!

Bill, unless the design has changed, the polisher is a densely packed polishing pad highly infused with jeweler's rouge. Be sure to heed the warning about over-using the hone cleaner...it grinds away pretty fast and ruins stage 3 (about 40 restorations)

Good to know. Yes, this one also has a dresser. Can you replace stage 3 when it gets bad or is it time to buy a new sharpener?

I suppose it could be replaced, but when a motor made a noise on my original, I discovered it was not made to be disassembled. It had glue and hidden wedges that could not be released without destruction of the case. Rather than tell my wife that I ignored the warranty, and I wanted to "fix" it myself....I wound up getting an identical unit and kept my mouth shut (unless she reads this)..... Send it in if you have to! I'm pretty handy, mechanically.

One area where I know a wee little bit...

At one point in my life (I.e. Most of it), I was into knives pretty seriously (including knife sharpening, knife throwing, knife self defense (black belt), and custom knives).

I think I've tried almost all the knife sharpening methods & tools including the chefs choice (removed too much metal and motor went out like Rainman's), bench grinder with felt pads / paste, and more. Now rely on belt grinder like guy in following video. Works best for me.

Don't think that link works. Go to knife forums, keeping sharp, belt sharpening by twin blade video.

There's 30 pages in that thread, which page is it on?

esshup, I'm pretty sure this is the video he is referencing. I found it as a sticky near the top of the forum under the maintenance of knives section.

Canyon creek: yes. That is it.
