But, I've never run a kitchen knife on it and I can sit there as long as it takes with no work involved. So, I might get it out since you brought these things up.
On one of my bench grinders I have a 100 grit stone. A lot of cutting tools like a bit of rough. Turning tools can be like that.
I only turn when there is a job. I don't do that for fun. In fact, that's how I feel about most machines. I don't play around on the table saw unless I have a job. This not my recreation. However, the big picture is fun including whatever it takes. But no more than that.
My favorite tool is a metal lathe but that won't help much with the knives.
