Any comments on the CRKT Slidesharp?

I haven't heard anything at all about this sharpener, and wanted to know how well it works (if it works at all)?

Yes, save your money and spend it on a Sharpmaker or Edgepro. I bought one and couldn't get it to work -- the slot was too wide and the action made it impossible for me to hold a consistent angle. You may have better luck.

I already have a Sharpmaker, and the EdgePro is next on my list. I was just curious to see if it worked or if it was a flop.

Completely agree. I own a dozen different sharpening systems, gizmos and gadgets, and the CRKT is my least favorite, as in I never use it. And the Sharpmaker (with the diamond rods and the ultrafine rods included) is the best, by far.
