Easy to use sharpener

[Brutus013]

I need a good sharpening system to get my blades nice and sharp, but I don't want to use a stone as I am not sure how and am not really that enthusiastic about learning how to use one. I have heard the Spyderco Sharpmaker can get a knife razor sharp, but is it easy to use? Does it require that you hold the knife at a certain angle like a stone?

The Sharpmaker is very easy to use. You only have to hold the blade straight up and down, not at an angle. The ceramic triangles are held in place at either 30 or 40 degrees.

Are there any similair systems that work as well that are $50 including shipping?

Brutus... I think you can find a 50USD Sharpmaker on eBay (I did mine). Don't buy that... It's not fun at all.

I am always leary about eBay. If I find a good enough deal I guess I will try it out.
