Hello Blade Forum Members. Here is anothe really neat knife maker's tool that I did not find for sale anymore and have had to make my own and now will make available for those of you intrested in them. It will make knife sahrpening a lot more easier and will put a supper sharp edge on a knife. Some of the things that produce a supper sharp edge using this machine are that you allways maintain the same angle by using the clamp to give you a constant angle. The other thing is that you are putting the edge on a platen ranther than on a slack belt, so the edge is more in the shape of a V rather than a U exageratedly speaking and the last thing is that you can replace the abrasive belt and replace it with a leather belt and add some rouge and use it to strop the edge and that is also better that the buffer beacause it does not give like a buffing wheel and will not distort the cutting edge. You can put a supper sharp edge on most knives in less that two minutes. You can just use it for your self or you could even start a small knife sharpping buisness with it as some other people do at farmer's markets, outdoor related shows, generate a clientel of people you know, ect..This knife sharpener uses standard 1 x 30 belts that can be purchased from Pop's Knife Supply and only cost $1.15 each and they have a good assortment of grits. It works of of standard 110 volt house hold current. I will only make them on an order basis which means I will make yours if you comfrim your order first and do not take deposits or any payment until I let you know that yours is ready to ship. The price is $425. plus shipping. You can contact me at (956) 771-7749 or email me at ep3757@yahoo.com
