  • I don’t know what kind of sharpener you are talking about. I use regular whetstones. I have some diamond stones that were a gift, they only get used on cold chisels and knives from the flea market to re profile them.

    I had a partner who loved Victorinox, we are not together any longer so I don’t have to sharpen them. As I said, they are uncomfortable in my hands, and I find the steel sub par. A Zebra is usually 1/4 the price and better quality.








  • I meant their regular knives, not serrated ones. I sharpen all my knives and straight razors as well. I find Victorinox difficult.

    Serrated bread knives are usually only sharpened on one side, the other side is flat. You can do what is called ‘back sharpening’ where you lightly sharpen the flat side.

    In any case when someone wants an inexpensive knife recommendation I say the Thai Zebra brand, much cheaper and better quality.
