One of the gals on the board recommended the TrueCut Rotary Blade Sharpener. I found one on Amazon for less than $50 and free shipping. I LOVE it! I've tried several sharpeners and this one absolutely delivers. It is noisy though, that's the only negative thing I can say about it. But I just plug in my ipod and sharpen away. The trick is to sharpen your blade with the first sign of nick or dullness, don't let it get really nicked up and dull. If you wait that long, I don't think there's a sharpener out there that can revitalize it back into good service.
