This is one I've not seen before. I know many of us are buying from Harbor Freight now, but this sharpener looks promising, I think. Anyone own it?

I would love also to hear some feedback..I've been watching it for about a year..but want to hear how it works. I have the little sandpaper disks but they are about worthless. I also came across this one...

Pretty expensive. For that price let's hope it works.

All of the sharpener's on the market have one thing in common, they are made to be used often. These are not made to put a new edge on a blade, but to "keep the edge sharpened." So the key is to use them frequently before they get dull :wink: :D:D:D

too expensive for me.

I have this!!! It is more expensive, but it has worked for me, much much better than that little blue ring thing. The thing is, its a new discipline for me to remember to do before I start slicing and dicing! :shock: So hasn't happened everytime! LOL But did definitely make a difference.

glad to hear it works

This is a brand know in plants and industries to have quality cutting blades. I have the Grace Tru Cut sharpener that is manual and it works great. You have to sharpen a sharp blade to keep it sharp. Most try using a blade sharpener on dull blades then complain the sharpener doesn't work.

$60 is a chunk of change, but it won't buy too many new blades. Might be worth a try.

Good to know. How long do you put the blade in the machine for?

If I was to put my money into a rotary blade sharpener it would be this one. No need to remove from handle, just swipe every so often and continue to cut.

That is the one I have and it works great for me right now.
I don't think $60 is too expensive for a quality tool that will preform for many years. It will pay for itself over time and then continue to save you money.

I just ordered the cutter. It's so pleasant to have a sharp blade---------got to be worth something.

Shipping is outrageous, however
