Has anyone checked out the new DMT Angle Mate? Basically, it is a little magnet with a wedge on it that sits on the Diafold sharpens to aid in finding the correct angle for each stroke.
 
Slot sharpeners like that arent all that precise because the blade can move about in the slot changing the angle sharpened.
 
I don't thing it's a slot sharpener at all, but rather a wedge that sits on top of your stone. That's a pretty good idea, I'm surprised it took so long to come up with that. Where can I find one?
 
I had a CRKT slide sharp that was similar to the way the blade is held in place.
The thing is because they have to allow room for blades of diffrent thickness this allows the blade to become unaligned very easy.
Another problem is it looks like it would only do one angle which limits it greatly IMO.
Better getting a DMT aligner which gives you 7 options i think.
Ive no idea were to get one but there cheap so im sure they cant be that hard to come by.
