A regularly used cheap knife without any maintenance would be terrible.

Hey baller, any problem money can solve is no problem at all. Don't sweat it.
yeah, every knife should be sharpened regularly, cheap or expensive. I'm pretty lazy with the honing. I should step my game up, have just been using cal-don for my occasional sharpening needs.

I have all kinds of stones, regular Arkansas oil stones, Japanese water stones, ceramics and diamond plates. I have wasted more money on stones than I care to think about but really I don’t care. Sharpening edge tools is a bit of a hobby and infatuation with me so it is it was money well spent just for the entertainment factor.
That said, I woodwork using traditional hand tools and sharpen more than just kitchen knives. I sharpen chisels, hand planes, pocket knives, kitchen knives, scissors or whatever I want. Jesus, you can shave with my woodworking tools! I value a sharp edge so I don’t mind spending money to do it. I don’t have to buy anything that way for the rest of my life though. I have everything a guy needs to sharper almost any edge tool imaginable.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Just arrived today... The first one went Missing with Canada post so they sent me out a replacement. I will say overall first impressions are good. The knife has great feel and balance in hand. It has good weight but isn't too heavy and came hair popping shaving sharp. The shape of the handle itself sits really comfortably in my hand with my grip style (I am a blade pincher). I am looking forward to putting it through its paces soon!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I ordered a Global chef knife and 4.5" kitchen knife from Costco for $100 total, was thinking about getting this sharpener..Any idea if it would work fine for those?
Reading online the Globals are sharpened to 10-15 deg, this one can do 15 deg so should be fine?
That sharpener is in stock online. Get it if you’re in the market because apparently it’s hard to find. Reviews seem good
Here's my set-up. Need to make a strop for the compound and will eventually build a wooden sharpening station as well.
Get the Minosharp from Amazon for your Globals. Everyone has time for stone with it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
