Sypderco Sharpmaker -- Is it really that easy?

Does it work as advertised? Can someone who is...shall we say...sharpening challenged, use the Sypderco Sharpmaker and obtain a hair popping edge on a dull knife? Come along as I use the Spyderco Sharpmaker for the first time on camera and see the results.

I'm a bit sharpening-ly challenged myself, gonna have to pick one up, thanks for the vid.

[Cr0cket20]

@ianarno I think you will really like it. It's been great for me.

They really are worth the money. It is super easy to touch up a blade. Normally it only takes a couple of passes on the smooth stone.

@MrKnifeguy25 I think that's how they work best too. If one keeps the blade sharp it's extremely easy just to touch up on that system.

@Cr0cket20 Where did u found this nice blacky rat-1 ?

[Cr0cket20]

@ElectroRohy I think it was cutleryshoppe. Could be wrong though.

[TheMrtanners]

you didnt mention how u could flip it over and use it as a flat stone...and how u can put the rod in the side for a scissor sharpener

@jacob1714266 All you do is rotate it so that it protects your left hand...
