I have been using a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker with excellent results. Since I am getting such good results is there any good reason to take the time to learn freehand sharpening? The only thing I can think of is for situations where the sharpmaker isn't an option. I recently had to order some more sharpmaker stones to replace some that I broke. So right now I can only use the sharpmaker with the fine stones until the medium stones get here. Freehand stones strike me as being more resilient than the ceramic stones for the sharpmaker. Of course it would also be nice to be able to sharpen "the old fashioned" way. Nothing like doing it your self instead of relying on modern gadgets.
