Smudge, the Sharpal 325/1200grit diamond stone can be had for about $100. And they last forever. They are wicked good. Will sharpen a knife within 5minutes from worse than blunt. Most times a couple of minutes is all that is needed. I bet if you get one, you will be very happy, in fact if you are not I would buy it off you for full retail. If you want a stupid sharp knife, then use a finer grit or strop to finish. However they sharpen to very sharp without the extra step.

Thanks for that Kimber, I just read some other reviews & they sound good. Do you know if there's a local agent? I can only find them on Amazon

So I didn't know what they were - til my mate with a real fancy one as described before (wetstone thing) lent me this one. Pretty hard to get it wrong. two angles to sharpen with (15/20) and two grades of diamond on the roller. There is nothing to stuff up. The angle faces are magnetic and hold the blade while you roll the diamond stone along it.

Recently acquired a Warthog system after years of persevering with diamond stones and traditional stones.Very happy with the Warthog. Sharp blades consistently achieved with minimal fuss. I'm impressed.

Hi, I got one of these last week, pretty impressed so far. Just wondering what angle you recommend for a victory fillet knife? I used 20 degrees on my bait knives and they came up very sharp (shaving sharp) pretty quickly. I tried 17 degrees on the fillet knife and having trouble getting it shaving sharp. Might just need more time, maybe the steel is harder than the bait knives?
