KnifeMasters - The World's Best Sharpener?

Post by bestgear »

Does anyone have any experience with this outfit: http://sharpenedge.homestead.com/index.html

For $200 you get a 3400 RPM belt sander, 80, 600, 800, & 1,000 grit belts, a leather stropping belt, stropping compound, a diamond serration file, safety glasses and on-line instructional videos.

Is this a good deal? I don't see any brand name on the sander. They also offer a business opportunity for those who are looking for a part-time or full-time income which "gives you everything you need to start a successful home-based business".

Any thoughts?

The machine looks an awful lot like the $30 chicom machine I bought at Harbor Freight a couple years ago. I bet it's the same thing. Belts can be bought cheap from jantz.

It looks like someone has packages easy to source parts and is charging you a premium for the packaging.

I do use mine a lot to set bevels/fix chips or bad sharpening jobs. I'd rather have a bit nicer smoother running machine, but these are cheap, and disposable.
