[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2582371, member: 9374"] Just wanted to update this for anyone who may be looking later or wondering. I ended up with one of these. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/ecx.images_amazon.com_images_I_41vA8spD5zL.jpg[/img] It can be found [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Choice-120-Professional-Sharpener/dp/B00004S1B8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406341211&sr=8-1&keywords=Chef%27s+Choice+120"]here[/URL], on Amazon. It does a great job, overall. I took some of my kitchen knives and resurfaced them and built a new edge on them. It's set at 30 degrees, I think. The first stage will absolutely eat up some metal... but a couple of my cheaper kitchen knives I really had to run through here several times. Well, maybe more than several. But once I got the new edge angle set, stages 2 and 3 do a great job putting a good edge on it. I could slice paper into vermicelli with ease, but shaving hair was spotty. It's a good solution for quick, easy and consistent re-edging and touching up. But if you want one of those edges not just shaving-sharp, but hair-splitting sharp (boy, I'd love to be able to do this), it's not going to do that. <edit> And just to add, I didn't buy this. I happened to mention my knife-sharpening quest when my neighbor lady was here and she said she had this, then dropped it off for me to use. She said she'll just bring her knives over if they need sharpening. lol Score! This is the same neighbor-lady who essentially donate-loaned me her Traeger pellet smoker which has become a source of much joy for all of us! :D [/QUOTE]
