In regard to the recent thread (now closed) about the $500 Russkie knife sharpener, I am posting this for your consideration. I came across a Lansky for under fifty bucks. Does the exact same thing without the excessive clockwork mechanisms (which are cool). Comes with five stones, instructions, oil and guide clamp. The pedestal was another ten bucks but way worth it. I just screwed it on to a scrap board.
I put it to the test with my Shun Edo knives and I believe that I can split an atom now. Lol.
I do like the Russkie $500 device and it's on my list. But today fifty bucks works a lot better.
Your mileage may vary.
