    Yep, I've got one of the latest models ... it's The best thing EVER.

    The first sharpen of a new blade on it takes about 20 minutes - and thereafter a touch up to bring it back to shave your arm bare will take less than 5 min.

    After sales support is simply amazing - not that I've had any big problems with it.

    Its worth while getting the polished stainless steel to go with it.

    @ebf can attest to the sharpness of my knives ...

    Are they really that great?. I find my old wet stone and diamond steel bring any knife to a razor edge.

    Yep, they are. They bring a level of perfection to my knives that I could only dream of achieving using a wet stone. And quickly.

    Got an early model Scary myself, no issues with it, need to get it out more often, woman folk in kitchen know how to kill knives in my household... it wasn't cheap when I got it but I believe has been well worth it... just recently got the little Lansky Blade Rescue thingie for my hunting kit, does a nice job...
