I just bought a work sharp sharpener and I will never hand sharpen again. this thing works great! I used to hand sharpen while watching tv but then days shortened from a full 24 hours to about 16 so I bought a Chef's Choice Pro 130 now I'm selling that thing. the worksharp will get your knives shaving sharp in half the time and half the money. If you can't tell I'm exceptionally pleased with this product. I've gone to Havalon's for hunting but for butchering this thing will get my forschners shaving sharp without taking off a ton of metal. It's basically a mini belt sander so it has a 1000 uses. I was just wondering if anyone here has used this thing and what they think?
