Maybe I should clarify this unit gets the job done, although small, the stones work. The guide holes are quite big so the angle gives some variability as you are sharpening which sucks, but not the biggest deal. At smaller angles you always hit against the knife clamp with your stone, which is the worst. You damage your stone, and the knife clamp this way, if you go for anything under 20 degree's with pocket knife. I wish I sharpened knifes enough to justify getting a real guided sharpening system like the tsprof system.
If your needs are similar to mine, and you mostly need it for kitchen and regular pocket knives even high end ones, I'd look into the work sharp electric sharpenders which would cost a little more than this unit. I hear they have a slightly rounded knife edge like a knife after polishing on leather, rather than a more traditional V shaped edge. Also their electric units are not prone to messing up on the tips of curved knives, such as the angle based clamp systems like lansky's are prone to.
