Spyderco Sharpmaker reviews?

[@thewheels]

Anybody tried or own Spyderco's sharpener? I've been reading reviews on these and they seem to be well liked.
I've got some new CRKT knives that aren't sharp enough for me.

For a durable sharp edge on your hunting and outdoor knives you should maintain a 25* angle. I use a Lansky sharpener for this with excellent results. If you want a razor type edge for you edc pocket knife the Lanskey will allow you to put a 20* edge on the blade. But be careful, at 20* you make the blade susceptible to rolling the edge if used for every day use.

I agree with the Lansky sharpener, but occassionally use a ceramic stick set I got from A.G. Russel to refresh an edge quickly. But then I like the Ken Onion work sharp system and Arkansas stones too! Everything has it's uses.

I'll start looking at the Lansky sharpener. I'm not looking to get a shaving edge on the new blades but they aren't exactly what I'd call sharp.
Some of the Kershaws I've gotten recently were definitely sharper out of the box.

I use a Lansky, which I used today to freshen up my Leatherman blade. Easy peasy. And Im a cheap bastard. Otherwise I wouldve got the Spyderco.

I dont use 1 knife enough to need constant sharpening. This Leatherman had been my main blade for going on 3 years.

I own the Spyderco Sharpmaker and like it. Puts a nice edge on my blades with minimal effort.
