I've got a couple of months old, lightly used (I used it to reprofile a couple of knives) DMT Aligner Deluxe diamond sharpening system. The Deluxe comes with the 3 standard diamond hones (coarse 45 micron, fine 25 micron and extra fine 9 micron) as well as a serrated diamond hone.
It comes with all of the original accessories including the paperwork (I think I still have it, if not you can download it), the storage bag and the guide rods and aligner system itself.
I also have an extra coarse (60 micron) diamond hone. This thing can remove serious amounts of metal very rapidly. It's perfect for reprofiling overly obtuse or uneven factory grinds.
The aligner system is nice because it accounts for things like blade height and thickness and gives you the optimum setup guide for the angle you are after. You really don't need to know much about sharpening to get extremely good results.
I am working on honing my free-hand sharpening skills so I'd rather move this along so I am not tempted to use it and take the lazy way!
You can do a quick search on the Web and see what these sell for new to give you an idea of the trade value.
I am looking for a nice camp kitchen knife, something small and slender for my wife who has very small hands. She likes longer, thin blades.
Outside of that, I am open to offers!
