What is a sharpmaker?

[Aelius]

Just reading the first page of this forum revealed numerous references to the term "sharpmaker". I looked on Answers.com and it said that "sharpmaker" is not one of the 3 million topics that they have an article for. So my question is... what is sharpmaker? Thanks!

Its a little box of awesome, is what it is.

Its basically the best bang for the buck if you plan on sharpening most knives and probably the only way to reliably sharpen things with recurves or hawkbills.
