The one of used which is about 5 years old was basically same as one in video and currently online but the difference was the top plate where stone slides was about 5 inches wide and didn't have the two rubber guides sticking up. If that makes sense:)

Interesting. Mine has a brass guide and a micro adjustment to allow for a dual bevel. But I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

There have been 3 versions of the SS sharpener. Have bought and used all 3. My mate up the coast has our original SS. All work well.

I havent been able to find the version I have got online anywhere which is weird.

I had the old one and ended up getting the new one - it rotates which is quicker than flipping the knife over in the clamp every time. rest of it is the same really.

There is a really early one, which is a flat plate with a plastic block with an offset cut in it that slips onto the flat plate giving three effective angles for the edge. That's the one I have, which works fine for what I need but the flasher rotating one would be nice haha.

I too started with a Lansky type setup, worked but very slow in comparison. The SS system is much better in terms of speed while still giving the same finish. The SS stone holder/guide things can be used on any of the available stones, you can get chinese made ones in a variety of grades that do the job fine for the final polish and sharpen and the bog standard easily available 120/240 combo stones from the hardware shop do the first cut for you which is handy.

I was tossing up between the Worksharp and EZSharp, after many many reviews and ready opted for the the EZSharp built in WA Aus this thing is built to last. There are no plastics apart from the adjustment knobs and handle on the stone holders. super solid and knife doesn’t move at all once mounted.

Out of all the sharpening systems I have seen and used the ezesharp is by far the easiest to use.
The flipping system is also superior and way quicker when doing the count down method of finishing.
Well done on doing your research to choose the best.
Only fault is it is a bit bulky to store but so are some other brands.
