No I've never used one. I should probably try it some time, but I've been using stones since I was a kid, and I'm 49 now, so I'm pretty comfortable with the stones, no matter the grind. Although using other materials might make it faster and easier, the time, patience, and concentration involved is actually relaxing and fulfilling for me.
Even for quick stropping I use a very fine ceramic stone.
Here's a closeup of the new edge, not a total mirror, but I always leave them just a little bit toothy.

That knife is ugly and stupid, but I would be willing to take it off your hands to save you from the grief of owning it. Just send it to me, and I won't even charge you for the service.![]()
Bro from another mo! Have you seen the new Boker Haddock? It's an Anso designed stag frame lock. Interesting and cool in my book but a little pricey.
