I got an attachment for my drill for sharpening tools. Now I just have one question. Should the grinder be spining towards the knife or away from it? I know really simple question right? But I've never done it before so I'm not sure. I know I need a 22 degree angle but that is about all I know.

Seems like alot of trouble for a shave Cavey.  But, yes that's how I sharpen a knife. Regarding the grinder, it would be toward the blade. |

Thanks you all. I appreciate the advice. these are cheaper knives and if I try to sharpen them with a stone I'm at it for ages. They just don't sharpen like a good knife would.
The dollar store you know?

The dollar store you know? Well , I'm happy dey are cheaper knives ! Many a good knife has been ruined by grinders and power sharpeners.   |
