Some of those are vintage English Buck Brothers, the only BB's to buy. Not today.

But I'll be damned if I can get that kind of edge on a Henkle. I was blaming the knives. These are not the Pro series.
On my previous kitchen knives, I used to use an electric Chef's Choice sharpener, quick, easy to use, consistent results.

It worked well.

On my new Shun knives, I use wet stones, 1000 grit and 3000 grit.
