The thing is I already have a spyderco sharpmaker 203. I am trying to do the research myself (and am seeing if I should go to a another ystem altogether lansky maybe) or am I being redundant with the so (does having that extra angle even help?)

I have read up (maybe even got a scare/paranoia from the dull Benchmade threads) on a lot of articles here and there.

I mostly own Benchmades, and will use the sharpener for my folders.

Sorry again for posting a topic which I could've easily found out if i did a search, I thought i'd post this to compliment the search I am already doing.

I can vouch for the Spyderco 204 system.It's the first time I've used anything and got any results.I do not know much about angles but using the 40 degree position, I was able to get shaving arm sharpness out of my two knives I had sharpened on the 204.I was told that systems like the Lansky are okay as far as getting the angle correct,but since you can only sharpen a short section of blade at one time that it is almost impossible to get an even edge along the length of the blade.That why I went with the 204.
Thanks,Ralph
 
I also have the 203, and was thinking of getting the 204, but I decided to wait. I have used my 203 enough, that if I need to, I can get a different angle by holding the knife to the angle I need. Someday I'll get the 204, but not this year. I need the Shabaria instead!!

I have a 203 and went ahead with purchasing the 204. The 204 has more versatility and packs away nicely.
