Keeping boat knives sharp?

[sushi42]

Sushi,
I have had the same problem over the years knives are good new but don't stay that way for long. I found a super nice sharpening system in my searches but it was way too expensive. Then I was trolling an email list for them and found a woman in CA. that was selling an almost new one and bought it this winter. It is the best sharpening system I have ever tried and makes sharpening idiot proof. I can shave with my knives after 3-4 minutes on the wheel. They are expensive but worth every penny I spent. I got the T-7 and the hand tool kit with it that sharpens all kinds of tools. I mainly use it for knives but it will do chisels and planers as well. And there is a wide assortment of jigs you can purchase to sharpen almost anything.

I did the wifes Henckels a while ago and she cut her self first time using them. She yelled at me and said they were too sharp............... It takes some practice using this thing. It is idiot proof as far as the bevel angle with the jigs but getting them sharp takes some serious practice. I screwed up a few junk knives before I tried the Henckels. She has a nice set of farberware knives that have been useless until i got this thing. If we can get together this year i can bring it with and we can sharpen up some of your steel.
