I have one, and it works well on thinner blades, but if it is something thicker like a BK2 it is marginal

I just got mine in the mail today. I already tested it on my SOG. I agree with the suggestion that it's more suited for thinner blades. You could probably modify the guide if you had to. I like it.

^ some of the videos I watched showed freehand without the guide on some of the thicker blades.

I could be wrong, but perhaps the Ken Onion model (adjustable) guides are wider?

I don't recall having any issue with any of the thicker blades - BK2 or Gerber LMF.

They are wider.

I haven't had any issues with wider blades in mine.

I've been thinking about one of these. The Ken Onion edition seems to be the way to go.

You guys that have been using them for a while, do you think the belts last long enough for the price of them?

I just got a KME gifted to me from a friend, its basically fool proof! Can mirror polish the edge too for that added bling.

Regarding rounding the tip, you can do that with any sharpener. You friend is to blame for that

Doesn't this thing only do convex?

Yes. I love mine. After a little practice I'm making everything wicked sharp now.
