I'm looking for a first rate machine that will handle hollow ground and serrated blades. I've used a Lansky for years and it just takes too much time and doesn't work on the serrated blades. Any and all input would be appreciated.

Other than a belt sander in the hands of a professional or a bench grinder with a polishing wheel, I have never seen an electric sharpening tool I would use on a good blade.

All most electric sharpeners are good for is ruining good knives.

I have found the Spyder Co sharpener with its triangular ceramic sticks to work great on serrated edges.

Use the grey sticks.

Bought the Nirey. It used sanding belts. Does a much better job than the Lansky and does not overheat the blades or remove a lot of material if you use some care. It does bulid a small burr on some blades, but a quick swipe with a fine stone will rmove the burr.

My sharpener is the USPO. Buy Kershaw, mail it back when losing its edge, and get a like new blade back. thumb
