i met a member who had been using other sharpening systems for quite some time without much luck or consistent results. he wanted to get into using the wheels after seeing my videos of knives i sharpened chopping hard elm and then shaving hair or push cutting newspaper right after. he wanted the same edge that i was getting but didnt want to spend 10 minutes to 8 hours getting it.
he told me after wasting $500 on the other systems, he decided to spend $100 and get set up with the paper wheels. the day he decided to give them a try, he called me up and asked for some instructions again. this person has a loss of vision in 1 eye which i thought would make it a challenge for him so i made sure he understood exactly how to use them.
after giving him instructions on how to use the wheels and making sure he knew how to use them properly and safely, he said it was time for him to give it a try and would call me back shortly.
15 minutes later he called me back whooping out loud that for the first time he had a shaving sharp knife. he said all the other systems failed him and the wheels were all he had read about in posts from me and other members as well who had the wheels. here is a link to his first post after using the wheels.
