Sharpmaker opinions...

[BladeMaster]

Okay, a while ago I asked everyone if I should get the Pro File or Sharpmaker.

Everybody told me to go with the Sharpmaker. I went to my local dealer, but they didn't have the Sharpmaker, so I got the C01S Worker. The next time I was there I bought the SS Harpy ( cool knife <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> ).

Well, they got the Sharpmaker in, and now I'm probably going to buy it this weekend.

Before I do, I would love to hear your user opinions on it. Is it REALLY that easy to use? Also, is the Harpy easy to sharpen on it?

Thanks for any help. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Got mine this week...
Delica(plain), Dragonfly(plain), Cricket(serr), Wegner jr(40/60) all razor sharp now...

It's easier than benchstones, and I've been using them for 12yrs.

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

There is flat out no easier, better way to sharpen serrations. I use this thing about every other day, so I've developed speed with it, but as long as you can hold a knife straight up and down, you can use it like a champ. This thing could be run by a poorly trained monkey...like some of the people I've worked with...

Its all fun and games til somebody loses an eye, then its fun annd games you can't see.

I 2nd what Haji said. The best sharpener! Whay better than the bechstones method I learned in scouts.

Some laws permit, what honor dose not.

I'd have to say I was still a bit skeptical about any home sharpening product - I'd tried normal stones over the years on other knives without much joy.

I was really impressesd with the ease of use of my Sharpmaker (it's the older model 203) - even without the instructional video, I manged to get great results quickly on my oldest Spydercos - serrated and plain.

Go for it.
