Chef's Choice 500 ScissorPro Professional Diamond Hone Scissor Sharpener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All those dull old scissors I collected over the years, as they gradually lost their edge, are now SHARP. I stumbled across this product while looking for a knife sharpener. Since I was about to buy yet another pair of scissors, I decided to try it. It really put a good edge on all my shears (except pinking, nail and hair - which it does not sharpen). You have to be somewhat careful holding the blade at the correct angle, as there is a bit of wiggle room under the guide. One practice run with a cheap pair of scissors should suffice, however, and it is wonderful to have really sharp scissors again. Lots of them!

Grizzly G2790 Universal Knife Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The G2790 is a good value for the money. Not the highest quality as far as machine tools go. I needed to do some fine tuning to get it to work well. I had to use gringing paste to flatten the knife guide and take some rock out. I also had to devise a way to take the slop out of the devices that hold the knife holder to the table. After my reworking the grinder performed well.

DMT B8250 DuoSharp DuoBase - bench stone base Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this base to hold 4" DMT whetstones and sharpen chisels and planes. These heavy items can move around an unsecured sharpening system. Plus the DMT stones are used wet which makes the table top slippery unless you are a lot neater than I am.
I was very satisfied with the plastic base. It never moved even when placed on wet formica. The elevated height allowed me to guide the tool along the edge and to flatten the chisel backs without hitting fingers on the table top. Eight rubber washers slip over plastic feet. Sounds flimsy, but its not. I would recommend gluing the rubber feet on at some point just so they don't get lost.
It also lets one store the diamond plate without scratching other surfaces or damaging the plate bottom.
The diamond stone came with a non-skid pad, but it would not hold a piece of plate glass still unless the table top was perfectly flat (and most are not).
The main disadvantage to the holder is that the stone cannot be easily flipped over. One plastic end must be removed and then reinserted. Maybe a 15 second job, but if you are going to use both sides in succession, it's inconvenient. I wish I had bought a coarse/fine combo instead of a fine/x-fine.
Money well spent.
