Can anyone sell me on a new, guided sharpening system?

And back to the op's post, for me there are alot of reasons that I love guided sharpening. I sharpen freehand as well. But what I like about the guided systems at least the high end ones is the precision and repeatability. It's not fool proof and there is a learning curve. But once you figure it all out the results are consistent even bevels, and extremely consistent results. I also enjoy how easy it is to get whatever finish I want on an edge. Also I'm using poltava cbn metallic bond stones. They don't require water or oil so less mess is also a plus. Sometimes I use isopropyl in a little spray bottle. But the mess is substantially less than a traditional water stone.
 
Ever find yourself sharpening the stupidest of things?

I got junk knives in the garage, that'll shave a frog"s ass.

50¢ Knife, $500 dollars worth of CBN stones.

Sharpening is the most fun of this hobby. Bar none. Exquisite edge, makes the knife.

I may or may not have a butter knife or two that can cut through tough leather like, well butter.
 
I was finally going to break down and buy a single fillet clamp and Gritomatic doesn't have it in stock.

Great. I need to sharpen a Benchmade Auto Fact and a Case trapper. Can't do it without the clamp.
