Great question Big B, as I was going down the posts I saw yours down the list and was hoping to learn more about hook sharpeners. I use a standard hook file on all points, and will check every hook point I buy before it goes into the box. Does anyone use an electric sharpener that works great. Please let us know if you do. I don’t mind using my file, but am getting tired of taking all the time it takes. let’s hear of some good sharpeners. Jack..
