Old fashioned? Me? :eek:
Function trumps form for me. If that's old fashioned, then so be it.
I Have a Butcher's stone and can get a decent edge however the accusharp delivers better and more consistent results in a MUCH shorter amount of time. - the only thing is that it creates a noticeable beveled edge, which some people may not like, but it doesn't bother me and with a little bit of careful work with the butcher's stone, the bevel can be reduced. I don't know about the electric sharpeners, I guess they would work.
