anyone know what this guided sharpener is?

does anyone know russian? can someone translate not the whole video but give some of the important highlights that he is talking about in this video? from this video the material looks like CNC acrylic? seems way better than the other videos cause its close up

 
I found his homepage and from what I can see they are not that much money even for the 9 it's 8000 Rubles witch is 169.00 Canadian,the one thing I really like is the way the tower works and how it would be better then my KME,on some knives with the KME you have to be careful not to hit the thumb stud's and on his you have to pivot point's and could avoid hitting the thumb studs much easier.I hope you can edge pro stones with his unit.

Also his stuff is not done with a 3D print he use's a Laser and cut's the Acrylic.

Here's link to his site

Look at 2:51 when he parks the stone to flip the knife. Watch how the stone angle changes slightly. Making the arm out of aluminum would help stiffen it up.

I am totally intrigued with the use of an articulating arm to replace the shaft and bushing. It really removes a lot of issues with the shaft/ bushing combo and changes the design possibilities of a guided sharpener quite radically. No need for a scissor attachment with them either! Whoever is designing these is very creative, notice all the small design changes between the 8 and 9, far more than how he holds the knife. It also looks like he has adopted the EP mounted stones, another kudos.

I'm not sure it's changing... the stone rotates slightly (it rotates about it's axis)... maybe that's what you're seeing? (I'm thinking there's not enough weight in the stone and setup area to cause a notable flex in that setup...).

The reviewer is extremely tongue-tied (I hardly understand what he is trying to explain), inexperienced in sharpening (it's his 3rd sharpening session) and does not understand many features (as he said that).
He admits 3 point guide is very difficult to use due to design flaw.

The rock is only noticeable when he lets go of the knob. I would guess it rocks about .075" or so over 7", it is not rotation about the stone holder rod. There may not be much force from the sharpeners own weight but when you are using it you are applying quite a bit more force, probably enough to rock the stone by a degree or so.
 
Mo2 probably said it best... until someone actually gets their hands on one... we’re all just guessing.

...and unfortunately, I won't be trying one of these sight unseen. The base price on the 8 (or 9 maybe?) is roughly $500 US. WAY too much for a sharpening system for me personally. I already have too many ways to sharpen blades. :)

It's still really cool looking though.

yes, but the low models are substantially less.

a design flaw, or he really just doesnt know what he's talking about? that version is the 7 and they also have a 7+ that fixes some things from the 7. so maybe they resolved an issue if there was one? i havent a clue. if anything id be interested in the 8 (but not anytime soon, that's expensive even for me).
 
People will buy a hunting dog clear across the country, when in truth they could probably buy a perfectly good beagle within a 300-500 mile radius. Not nearly as exotic though. Long story short buy a wicked edge
