Duckfoot sharpener
Does anyone have any experience with this sharpener. How well does it work?I was thinking of getting one
I have one and feel that it is a FAR cry from the sharpmaker. I would recommend a lot of other items over the duckfoot. Just my opinion. Perhaps others have had greater success. I just feel that there are far better sharpening devices available for similar money.
Wet/dry media on sharpmaker rods or diamond rods for a few bucks more for example...

I have a Duckfoot Sharpener and I use it more than my Sharpmaker :) The Sharpmaker is great but I am time-constrined on most ocacsions. So the setting up of the Sharpmaker is not as convenient for me than the Duckfoot.
The trick with the Duckfoot is to use it gently and not to push too hard on it. And this is also the case with the Sharpmaker. With longer use the Duckfoot can really work wonders. I really like to put a keen edge on my blade and it seems the Duckfoot works well for me without any hassles.
When I have time I like to take out the Sharpmaker and really do a good job on my better users.
In summary, I have one and I don't regret it. In fact I use it more than the SM :)

I would have to echo Chuck here. As far as carry around, easy to use top notch sharpeners DMT has them all beat. At least all that I have seen. I have a good selection of their stuff. Like everything else though hold on to your wallet. The diafold Chuck mentioned has two grits of diamond abrasive on opposite sides. It folds up for your pocket or pack. You can choose which grits you want when you order. I recommend course and fine for carrying around. Can't remember the grit numbers.chuck_roxas45 wrote:DMT diafold.

PS I recommend Cutlery Shoppe for shopping DMT. Wide selection and good prices.
That would be 325 and 600 mesh. Sort of off topic though.jackknifeh wrote:I would have to echo Chuck here. As far as carry around, easy to use top notch sharpeners DMT has them all beat.
