I found the same thing. At first I wasn't too impressed with the blades, but once I tried that I haven't had a lick of problem with any of them. And mine is just one of those cheapo 4.99 sharpeners :)

Thanks, Vondae, for the heads up on the sale. I anticipate a visit on my lunch hour... I love those magnetic bowls.
What do you use the magnetic bowls for?
safety pins, straight pins, thumb tacks, screws and nuts, snaps for the doll clothes, clasps for jewelery, snipper scissors, packages of assorted needles, empty bobbins... about the time I think I've got enough, I find I need another one for this or that. I have a magnetic strip in my basement that they all hold to, right in a row. I'm a total klutz, so when I end up knocking my pins or whatever around, the bowl goes spinning but the stuff doesn't spill out :) :thumbup:
