A Closer Look At Pull Through Knife Sharpeners
A Closer Look At Pull Through Knife Sharpeners
I like the microscopic photography here. It's fabulous!
I never had much success with pull-through sharpeners. After this, I'll likely keep sharpening with my stones.

Do it right, get a nice set of stones.
Instructions unclear, became transmasc.
I recently got a WorkSharp ken onion sharpener (there's a video about it on the same channel) and I think this is the solution for 90% of people that want sharp knives but don't want to spend the time learning and sharpening by hand.
The learning curve is very flat, it's fast and the results are really good. You can also easily replace the abrasive (there's even cheap 3rd party ones).
The only downside is that you can very easily ruin your blade if you're going ham with the coarse belts, as they do indeed remove material with relative ease. And you're getting a convex grind instead of a flat one which might even be a positive thing.
