I have small sharps container from a friend that is a dental assistant, all my old blades along with pins and needles go into it. I doubt I will be able to fill it in my lifetime:)

The orbital sharpener is only 29.95 plus S&H From USA sharpeners web site given on page 1 I think.

I have heard such mixed reviews on the blade sharpeners I decided not to get one.

Yeah, I think I'm with you. Unless I can try them out, it isn't worth spending $35+ on something that I may or may not be happy with. I can get a lot of other things for that cost. :wink:

If your referring to Ergo by Martelli, yes those are the ones I have been using and yes they do last much longer.

It just took me to my AOL mail.
