I just got this today, a red one from SHARPENING SUPPLIES in Middleton, WI - for $60. They also sell replacement assemblies for it, that use a small Phillips screwdriver. AMAZON wanted $73, and I saw it from another seller for $81. You can also shop e-BAY for used ones. It’s BIG, and HEAVY with its cast-iron frame. Unlike other cheaper pull-through gadgets, you can use back-and-forth strokes as if you’re slicing bread. The steels take out a knife’s bumps and kinks, as it re-aligns the cutting edge - and leaves micro-serrations, like a file-sharpened broadhead. There’s also a $30, all-plastic “Mini”-CHANTRY - when I bought mine decades ago, it was called the SHARPERY - and the last thing I ever bought from L.L. BEAN. FYI

As the biden said in the play 2021-2025 US President, “don’t, don’t don’t.” Don’t use this to sharpen knives unless you want to destroy your blades. Use steels and honing/sharpening blocks to hone or sharpen, those v-sharpeners ruin good knives.

Sez YOU - this is a TOUCHUP device to REFINE the edge.
I used to sharpen all my knives myself using blocks, but then I hit the point where it was taking me several days to sharpen them all and just decided to start taking them in to have them done professionally every 6 months. It’s primarily my Chef knives and fixed blades, my edc folders I still sharpen myself.
