+1 on the Spyderco---it's ain't cheap (about $55) and it ain't fast, but if you take your time and follow the right procedure, it puts a razor edge on a knife or broadhead. I always follow up with a strop, just for good measure. I used to get my knives belt sharpened by Bob Kramer in Seattle, first time using the kitchen knives both the wife and daughter cut themselves!!!

Ditto on the WorkSharp. I got mine two years ago at the PNW Sportsman's Show in Portland. The best feature is the ability to sharpen scissors. My wife loves that! Plus, it works great on serrated knives.
Hankster - If you're looking for the best knife sharpener on the market, check out the Wicked Edge sharpener system. Do a Google search on 'Wicked Edge'.
This is a "money is no object" sharpener. The Wicked Edge will get knives samurai sharp. There is no sharpener that will get knives any sharper, or an edge that lasts as long. I own one, and it's beyond belief. For getting an edge on straight-edge knives, there is nothing better. But it can't do scissors, and it cant' do serrated knives, and it's really expensive. So for the average hunter and angler, the WorkSharp is the best value.

The Wicked Edge sharpener has gone up in price considerably since I got mine. I paid just about half the current price. The demand has gone thru the roof, so the inventor raised the price accordingly. As any good business person would.....
But for the average guy/gal, WorkSharp is the way to go. Plus, it's made just down the road in Ashland, Oregon! It's nice to support businesses right here in the PNW.

Since the audience is largely guys that don't read the manual.... or watch the instructional DVD.... or look at the enclosed paperwork.... Bunch of guys on Ifish have posted about registering your purchase and getting a set of free belts. Guess it's time to rummage thru the trash. Ah crap.... Monday was trash day.

the belts are cheap, they are under 2 dollars a peice.. its the diamond belts that will kill you, at 15 bucks a crack, and wear out just as quickly, diamond is the way to go tho IMO...

Just got back from the store with my new WorkSharp. Tried it on a big carving knife that has never been sharp enough to cut butter and I cut all my fingers off. Then went to the tavern and ordered 5 beers and they brought me 2. WTF is wrong with people now a days? Thanks, fp

Francis, how do they sharpen surgical cutting instruments?
In my field, all knives/blades are pretty much "single use" these days. BTW thanks for the PM's to the WS warranty registration website... my free set of belts is on the way. I picked up a box of spares from BiMart at the time of original purchase, so I should be set for a while.
