It all started with a Facebook ad.
I had a Vulkanus pullthrough sharpener for at least 5 years. But then I saw an ad for a strange rolling knife sharpener called Tumbler, or something like that.
After a short investigation, I discovered that it’s a cheap Chinese knockoff of HORL knife sharpener: https://www.horl.com/gb/en/
And unlike Tumbler, HORL is actually considered a good sharpener. Then I started digging deeper. And turns out there isn’t as much choice among knife sharpeners, as one would expect. There’s unimaginatively named Chef’s Choice electric knife sharpener line, and then there’s WorkSharp, that produces both manual and electric sharpeners.
A lot of sharpening enthusiasts were swearing by the WorkSharp Field Sharpener. But since I didn’t need something too compact, I decided to get the benchtop version.
After sharpening half of my knifes, I can confirm, that it’s good, very good. Not something for people in a hurry.

that usually true only for the 1st time, keeping them sharp later shouldn’t be time consuming
I do not get idea of these ultimate sharpeners wich works for each angle.
I prefer to use cheap knives with soft metal and quickly fix edge on cheap diamond plate each time I use knife.
That’s a completely valid approach. Same with frying pans: you can have a very expensive Le Creuset that you will season or oil or whatever, or you can just buy Tefal every 6 months, all for the same money.

I prefer very cheap basic ones as I believe metal is a metal,
