I only have a steel thingy and probably due to me not knowing how to use it effectively it does a poop job at sharpening!

I'm a sucker. Chose the knife block, sharpener and cleaver to go with it. Still, my Titanium IIs are starting to get run down. Will be a nice replacement set. Thanks!
Edit: Booo! Had to restart the process and now it's not offering me the extra stuff. Edit2: Deleted cookies and it worked again!

I use a water sharpener for mine, but only on the Global ones because it's a Global sharpener. Not tried it on the cheapy ones yet. Will give it a go with one of the ones where I have a Global equivalent and let you know the results.

My knives arrived a couple of days ago - 5 piece set + 2 extra pieces to make it up to 7 to fit in the block + steel + cleaver +... an extra 5-piece set?! Don't know how that happened, but good times!

Global use a funny angle for the edge of their blade. If you use that sharpener on your other knives you'll just have to work them a bit to regrind the edge, then they will be fine. My knives don't keep their edge so well with Global's angle which means I have to sharpen them more often, but that's it.

I like knives.
I broke my ceramic Global steel last week though! |

This thread reminds me that my knifes could do with being sharpened!
