I didn't get to look through much of the details. I don't see a mfr name or model name. Looks like a lot of plastic. But, you never know. It looks like they're targeting the same buyer that EP, Hapstone, KME, TSPROF, WE are targeting. It would be cool to see some new innovation come from all the competition.

Looks like a cool gadget to me. It looks nice and sturdy even if it has a lot of plastic parts. The guide to my DMT system is all plastic and it has held up so far.

Says "Non-industrial private manufacturing." so alexandedolzhenko would know more ;)

But it also says "The exhibited angle from 10° to 40° on each side" :confused:
at least its better than Infinitely Adjustable Sharpening Angle - 17 to 30 Degrees :poop:

This one looks like it is 3d printed so it's a :poop:.

Says "Base material is ABS plastic (3d printing). Frame - aluminum."
Looks like everything red and grey is plastic.
Only rods, metal square pipe , and screws are metal.

The bendable rod connection for convex sharpening seems a new cleverness ,
why bend a replacement rod when you can pivot on a screw.

But the whole plastic upright seems to be very jiggly in video.
should have been a metal square tube, off the shelf kind.


Assembling / Fixed-angle sharpening / Convex sharpening
 
I was never one for reinventing the wheel but this looks kind of slick and effective. I'm sticking with my KME until I hear some reports of first hand users. Price?o_O
 
3D printed parts have poor dimensional accuracy and will warp if exposed to high temperatures. It's kind of antithetical to constructing a precision sharpener.
