While AccuSharp is better known for pull-through sharpeners, use of those on blades like this has downsides:
Pull-through sharpeners (especially carbide-style) can quickly remove material and distort blade geometry—acceptable for inexpensive knives, but detrimental for fine or high-carbon steels .
Users on forums describe the edge after such sharpening as “unstable,” “uneven,” or exhibiting worn micro-geometry over time .
Ceramic or diamond-guided sharpeners (like Lansky or work-sharpeners) are preferred: they’re gentler and more controlled than basic pull‑through sharpeners.
