Hey folks. I have quite a few good knives, mostly Esee's. I have worn the the blades on a few of them and want to sharpen them. I bought a Lansky system and practiced on a few beater knives before putting my good knives in the clamp. I am well aware that most folks like the Sharpmaker better, but I basically got the Lansky for free. I got some of the beaters fairly sharp, but not as sharp as I'd like. Just for the heck of it, I put my Esee 5 in the clamp. This is is well-worn blade and I figured I couldn't mess it up too bad. When I sharpened it, it got slightly sharper than it was, but not even sharp enough to cut my skin. I've watched several videos and read a good bit on the Lansky. I think I just have bad technique. Rather than keep dulling blades and wasting time, I would like to find somebody who knows this system and would be willing to spare a little time one afternoon to school me on this. I'll come to you and bring the sharpener and the knives. I don't want someone to sharpen for me, I want someone to show me how to do it myself. If anyone in the north GA area can and will help me, please PM me or post here. I live in Cumming but can do a little driving to find a guru. Thanks folks.
