Does anybody have experience with these? I just got one from the father in law for a gift. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I currently have an Edge pro, WSKT sharpener, and belt sander.

No offense to your f-i-l but don't let anything you care about get anywhere near that thing. My gift to the in-laws -coincidentally- was to sharpen all of their knives on my Wicked Edge. It was quite the chore as most had been mangled by one of these pull through devils...

May not be as bad as the typical carbide cutter pull-throughs, the angled & sharp edges of which tend to pinch & rip a blade edge. If I'm looking at correct & accurate vendor info, this one uses two sets of ceramic wheels (brown/medium and white/fine), instead of the carbide inserts. They apparently make another model with diamond wheels. All of them appear to have abrasive contact surfaces that are oriented flush to the blade bevel, instead of an angled & sharp edge biting into it (like the carbide types). Assuming so, it shouldn't damage an edge like like the angled carbide cutters do. Would still be limited in angle choice (one only), and therefore how fine/refined your edge may get. As compared to your EdgePro, it's nothing in that league. But as a quick/handy touch-up tool in the kitchen, it may do just fine.
