Wicked Edge Precision Knife Sharpeners
That looks like the best method of knife sharpening I've ever seen and would definitely get one if the price were a bit lower. It looks idiot proof but we all know that better idiots are created each and every day.... At this stage of the game in my life, I've figured out how to put a good edge on cutlery using various coarse - very fine grit stones. And yes, I have spent a shitload of money over the years on different gee wiz wonder sharpeners that never quite worked as advertised and finally realized that I had to learn the correct way to use sharpening stones.

That's a good idea, when I bought my edge pro I practiced on all the crappy knives from friends and family before I touched any of my own. There's definitely a a little bit of a learning curve learning curve but then eventually I was able to get a nice hair shaving edge on almost anything. Here's a pic of my Benchmade 915 triage.Oh, and I went to a thrift shop and bought half a dozen old knives for a couple buck each to practice on before turning it loose on my nice ones.
