I added the Tormek T-7 in here. If you want a very quick VERY sharp edge (it's not like going to 20K grit on an edge pro...) on everything from knives to scissors to shears to woodworking tools, this is how the pros do it.
I am not going to waste my time with anything but the Wicked Edge. I will save my pennies until its a reasonable choice.
edit: I may be persuaded into a Edge Pro...
We're currently in talks about getting the Spyderco Sharpmaker sourced and looking for a good source for the other top 3. I'll update here when we find out some more info so be sure to come back soon.
Thanks,
Alex
Spyderco sharpmaker is not really a true sharpener. With a TON of work, you can get there, but it's more for putting a nicely honed edge on an already properly profiled blade. An edge pro apex 4 kit can bring a totally blunt blade to razor sharpness and beyond.
