Title: Did a member send me this?
Post by: Bentley on August 12, 2024, 09:08:24 PM
Did one of you all send me this?  I just received it, no note.  Amazon as the return address.  I went and checked my Amazon account and I had not ordered it by mistake, and I do not believe the site is big enough that manufactures and just sending us stuff! 

I think it interesting it is coming after I order the small belt grinder!  If someone did please speak up!

Nor I but that is like the one my former neighbor has that works very well.  Is that like the one you reviewed?

It is the same model that pmillen sent me to do the Product Review.

Sharpen some knives and let us know the results.  It’ll probably be easier than the belt grinder.

Well I know this unit works very well, so I will sharpen the good knives on this one and the bad on the little grinder and will report back!

I have an older model of that grinder but over time it wore my blades down. Sharpness was OK but not great.

Since I already did a review of this item, I wont do another.  I will say I just finished sharpening all knives in both blocks.  Quick and efficient, and man are they sharp!  All I can say is thanks and I won't be using the little mini grinder anymore for knives!

Just wanted to again say thank you!  You know who you are.  I spent the last 45 minuets doing all knives, through all 5 belts.  Scary sharp is the only way I know how to describe them!

So by your math it doesn’t seem that labor intensive.
Large amount of knives and each run through 5 belts, is that correct?
Next question is it idiot proof?
Our knives are awful but finding someone to sharpen them is about as easy as finding my youth.

11 knives over 45 minutes there about's, run through 5 belts correct, so yes.

Your last question, just think who is doing it and you have that answer!
