Hey all, Ok....I need some info or hands on experience on this product. Stumbled upon it and saw the demo...looks good. Does anyone know anything bout it? Good...bad or otherwise.. Thanks. :D

The product in question is the Wicked Edge Precision Knife Sharpener.
 
If you click on the subforum "maintenance, tinkering" etc... you'll see huge debates about which is better - the Wicked Edge or the Edge Pro.

Both are expensive, but both also do what they advertise.

I own the Wicked Edge and I absolutely love it. I purchased the extra sets of stones because 600 grit wasn't enough for me... I got their 800 and 1000 grit, as well as the 1200 / 1600 ceramics, as well as the leather strops with the 14 and 10 micron pastes. I also picked up the curved stones for my recurve blades.

It's simple to learn and use, and once you get the motions down - you can sharpen a blade really quickly. I've been able to sharpen ALMOST anything with it - recurves, flat grinds, etc.. The only one it can't do is a custom made compound chisel grind that I have. (It's only ground on one side, however there are two bevels on the one side - the higher bevel has a forced patina on it, and then there is the edge bevel) The Wicked Edge's geometry isn't set up so that I can sharpen this knife without hitting both bevels and thus grinding off the forced patina on the higher bevel. This is my own problem though because it is a custom knife...

All I can say is that you definitely won't be sorry you went with the Wicked Edge. I love it and it gets my knives TP cutting sharp!
