Question 1

I am looking at a manual sharpener what would you  recommend?

Accepted Answer

Get yourself a Worksharp knife sharpener, either the orig one for $60, or the updated Ken Onion edition ($120), both are FANTASTIC.  I’m TERRIBLE at sharpening anything, but this thing (I got the Ken Onion edition) has made it easy, quick and best of all, a “good knife sharpener” out of me!  I don’t sell them, have no affiliation...    I just like a good product when I get one, which is rare these days.  Good luck.

Question 2

How well does this hold a edge? Also after a couple sharpening does it still hold a edge like if it was new?

Accepted Answer

For those too young to remember great grandpa shaving with a straight razor, let me give you a quick education. RAZOR sharp knife means it will not hold an edge.  The sharper the edge, the quicker it will dull. That's why great grandpa had a razor strop that he honed his beard cutting steel with every time he used it.  A fine razor edge on a fillet knife is important, as is the knowledge that you must hone (not sharpen) the edge regularly to maintain it.

Question 3

Can a lefty use this knife or is the blade made for right handers?

Accepted Answer

I am also a lefty. It works well. Really solid knife for larger fish.

Question 4

What would be the best sharpening tool for this knife?

Accepted Answer

This is a large can of worms on this ask; I ask 10 folks, will get 10 answers.  Since I was little, was taught to use an Arkansas stone, it's my comfort zone and haven't met a blade I couldn't hone yet.  I've tried other methods, but for me, the stone is far superior.  Technique and angle are critical no matter what your chosen poison for sharpening, practice, practice, practice.
