I have a decent amount of pocket knives and I have a little shitty sharpener that takes most of its metal off of only one side of the blade. Does anyone have or used a good knife sharpener? Looking to get something that gets them damn close to razor sharp...not into stones because I can never get the angle right. So...anyone know where to get a decent one for $50 or under?

 

Best advice: learn to properly use a whetstone.

If not, any "normal" sharpener only lets you set one blade angle, and like most things in life one size doesn't really fit all. I have a bunch of different angles on different blade edges for different purposes.

 

Second^ Nothing will come close to putting the kind of edge on your knife like a whetstone will when used properly. You don't even have to settle for 'almost razor sharp'. If I can't shave with my pocket knife then it isn't sharp enough.

 

3rd one's a charm....................learn to use the stone. None of the crappy sharpeners ever work right.

 

I was going to suggest a sharpener, but then you said "under $50". I got nuthin'.
