I've been using a Henckels Twinsharp knife sharpener on mid-priced Henkels, Wusthof, & Kitchenaid knives.... not too impressed. I want to learn how to sharpen properly before I spend $100+ per knife.
Should I use a sharpening steel in addition to the Henckels Twinsharp, or is a sharpening steel enough on its own? I assume a mid-priced sharpening steel is sufficient?
BTW, Amazon has a Shun 7" santoku for $108 (retail $144).
I am not a big fan of "sharpening steels" since they don't really sharpen in the hands of most people.
If you are interested in finding out more about sharpening your knives yourself I highly recommend this article by Chad Ward on Egullet
