I sharpen my straight razors by hand, using Naniwa and Shapton stones. I find it very very therapeutic.
So I have a nice little collection of knives. What I do is I buy one knife for the task I need but make sure it's damn good quality. I don't have much experience honing a knife by hand at all. It's completely different from straight razors. To keep my angles I use electrical tape on the spine to prevent hone wear and it puts just the right amount of angle.
Should I invest in a worksharp or should I learn the nuances of different steels and keep going with my stones?
