Knife Sharpeners

[bridle]

Can anyone recommend a decent but reasonably priced one? Needs to be better than an old fashioned steel which is what i use. Why are some of them outrageous prices? Are cheaper ones shit?

Get yourself to b&q and get a oil stone. There's countless videos available on YouTube on how to sharpen them.

I have this one from Global. Works really well on my Global and Henckels knives and cost me about $60

get a water sharpener like the one ab22 posted

Buy a ceramic knife and never worry about sharpening again. Worry about cutting the tips of your fingers off but not sharpening.
