That is not a guided system....although I see a wheel with #s on it...to set degree angle?
im looking to avoid freehanding. Also I wouldnt use a belt or wheel on an expensive pocket knife blade.....If i lived on a farm and did a lot of chicken beheadings with a machete i would invest in one of those industrial looking belt sharpeners
Guided gives a consistent angle across the length of the edge
also, not interested in anything that doesnt allow for stones of various grit....the idea is to get a consistent angle that can be polished to a mirror finish and the touched up on a stop as needed in between major sharpening sessions
EDIT: I see BladeHQ thinks highly of this. Maybe its ok but I dont like the idea of belts....rather use stones. When I said above that I wasnt interested in stones, what I meant was, freehand wet stones...which are obviously great but I dont have the time or interest to develop a consistent technique for those
