It's bigger and harder to use than one of those little $6 carbide/ceramic two stage V-sharpeners, and the results are no better. This sharpener does work pretty much as advertized, but you can get as good or better results with a little pocket V-sharpener, for about $35 less. One advatage of this sharpener over a simple V sharpener is that it does put a double bevel. This is a technique of sharpening where the main blade bevel is, in this case 20 degrees, and the honed edge is at a slightly wider angle, 24 degrees in this case. Ideally this gives a more durable edge and allows you to re-sharpen with just a quick hone. Even with this fact, and the compulsion I'll have to use it just because I spent $40 on it, I don't see myself using this over my pocket V-sharpener.
