  • You are absolutely right.

    The artisan approach would be far more satisfying. Sometimes (at least for me) deskilling and hitting the same results makes sense. I don’t want great results in one discipline, but as many as I can.

    If I want to run at 25mph I get on a bike. Kind of the same thing.

    (Also for disclosure, I bought it very lightly used for a lot less than retail from a custom knife maker friend who upgraded to a full station).

  • How hard is it to learn to use it? And do you still need to be a bit of an expert about choosing the correct angle, and identifying different grinds? Or does the kit make all of that stuff easy? I worry that even if I had your kit I would still do it wrong and perhaps ruin things.
