I have been very impressed with it. I do like the ken onion model and varying angles you can do. I got a deal on the basic model and it seems to be meeting my needs....I don't own and "good custom or heirloom type of knives" just utility type hunting and skinning knives so it is ideal for me.
It does take the metal off...which means it sharpens very quickly!

Chevy, i've been looking at those also. So does it work as good as they say? Is the Ken Onion model any better? Sorry guys but i don't have expensive knives, i do sharpen everything on a stone and use a steel cause i worked in a butcher shop for 5 years but i'm always looking for a good shortcut to anything.
