204 or Native......AARRUUG&$#@ 204
204 or Native......AARRUUG&$#@ 204
First of all let me say how hard it was to pass up another Spydie for the 204.I was not sure it would be worth the price.I got home about an hour ago and sharpened my Rookie ll on 30 degrees[unbelivably sharp for my first time with it]and touched up my native ll on 40 degrees.It only took about 10 min to make me not feel bad about making the native wait.This is got to be the best thing I have ever used no oil no water no mess no wife yelling about the smell less time spent getting the edge and I'm not even use to it yet. GREAT PRODUCT!!

J Smith,
Wow! We were on a warp yesterday... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I bought a 204 after handling a Native, and feeling the temptation of buying the knife instead.
I can tell you, though, I am not one bit sorry I decided on the sharpener instead. If you own good knives, might as well have a good sharpener.

J Smith,
Oh, yes I do. My knives are sharp! It's an excellent investment.
The Native looks and feels like a fine piece. Also, that Harpy is wicked-looking, very cool. Nevertheless, I am still saving my pennies for my Howard Viele, probably for December. Lately I have acquired too many knives for my pocket's comfort, so I need to slow down a bit. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Show off your Native once you do purchase it!

There's that magic word again. the Harpy looks cool but is one **** of a work knife. It is definately my edc at work and is always my backup when i'm not at work.
Kahz the viele is an awesome knife. I'm having a hard time choosing between that and the Lum Chinese as my next and Last knife of the year. Most people wouldn't think it's too practical but if I do get the Viele i'm gonna get fully serrated. I love the way the Serrated blade looks on that knife i figure if I'm carrying that one i'll just have to carry a small plain edge around too to pick up any slack that the serrated can't handle. good thing I didn get that 204 cause i'm gonna need it with so many serrated blades

My sister thinks I'm mad when I get out the 204 and pass my knife over the white stones 3 time on each side. I like to keep 'em sharp and I can tell when it starts to go dull. It is a lot easier than getting out the oil stone and going through all that.
The 204 is the best sharpener I have ever used.

Hey Sal,
Just dug out a couple of old straight razors I have and ran them over the 204. White stones at 30 degrees. Just had a very refreshing shave. I guess the 204 does it all!
