[quote="rodloos"]The SharpMaker will have NO problem with the Salt 1 PE! Go ahead and use it -- and DON'T use that pull-thru Smith sharpener on any knife you care about :) . Most of those aren't good on the blade at all.
Just go slow, don't use too much pressure, and make sure you or holding the knife straight against the SharpMaker, using the 30 degree setting first, then finish up on the 40 degree setting. Since the H1 steel isn't as hard as say, VG10, it dulls a little more quickly, but also sharpens up more quickly.[/QUOTE
Thanks for the info redloos, I will give it a try. I always wondered about that Smith one so I probably just pitch it. :)
