Short but very good!

Knife sharpening is getting to be a lost art with all the new gadgets out there. This brings out the old with some new!

Not much help

I am trying to learn how to sharpen knives. It looks easy on the YouTube videos but I am missing something. So I bought this book. I still don't know what I am doing wrong.

Concise and educational

Good use of diagrams and clear instructions with no fluff or useless preamble. A great read that does exactly what it says on the tin.
