I bought the Blade Stabilizer for a new Fillet Knife that was just to flimsy to sharpen without it. On the first try it worked better than expected. I recommend the Blade Stabilizer.
I have had the Gen 4 for nearly 2 years and have added several accessories to round out it's capabilities. I regularly bring it to work and sharpen anyone's knife that is interested. I bring it to my church's monthly men's breakfast and take care of anyone's pocket knife or kitchen knives. My mom is an avid quilter and I have sharpened all of her quilting club's members scissors. I do all of this for free because everyone should have a safe and sharp knife!
I like the consistency of angle and ease of use. I especially like to see people's reaction when I show them just how sharp it is!
I have been enjoying learning this new system. Great results so far.
Great product—however—at the price you charge, you should add a base, approximately 16”x10”x3/8” steel. It would weigh about 10lbs and eliminate the need for the funky C-clamp. I’ll make one on my own because I’m a metal and woodworker, but you should add it at no cost. Other than that, I like it a lot and am glade that you can make a decent profit. Your sharpening stones are fantastic, allowing both directions if I desire without ruining the stones. The design and engineering shows that you’ve learned by using other inventions that work poorly compared to yours.
