The wheel sharpeners are absolutely the sweet spot combination of speed/efficiency/performance... As long as you are willing to accept a little more knife degradation. And you must hone them immediately after otherwise you're doomed to having the edges fold. Otherwise yes, I am mostly a hone user to keep cutting tools primed.

Anybody that tries to tell me there's some magic to knives is wayyyyy out there; Too baffled by all the bullshit online to understand that keeping a knife usable is extremely simple, when you focus on the couple key techniques that actually matter.

I freehand cut this hasselback potato with a $5 knife after sharpening it. This is proof I am not just ass-shouting like most self-styled knife "pros". The biggest technique to understanding knife care is not listening to idiots, but how to know who's an idiot and who's not? It isn't easy for the average person.
