Price
There is also an add on attachment (sold separately $50-100) that allows you to use this for all aspects of knife making.
Not an ad, i buy all this nonsense with my own money, just thought i'd give my 2 cents.
Ok so full discolsure, bought this with my own money and am an avid edgesnob.
I bought a 30pk of off brand ones for $20.
Shipping
I ordered the product on thursday and received it at 8 o’clock on friday morning, thanx amazon!
Packaging/appearance
I could take a picture of it but honestly, it looks just like the picture in the amazon ad.
I received a gift of a new wusthof 5 inch santoku knife for the holidays and was in awe of its out of the box sharpness.
Save the box, as it has the instructions for sharpening various blades printed on the inside.
Competitiveness
Those took a little longer than say d2 but the results were the same.
And to be fair, i can do a better job with this worksharp in 1/10 of the time.

You probably do not needwant the 34elite34 version that is more difficult to use more difficult to get the correct edge angle more like a simple bench grinder
