    If you are talking about the Tru Cut sharpener, here is a video that explains what it does and what it sharpens. 45 and 60 mm only. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75VDKOu-kqE

    I've heard lots of different reviews on other sharpeners. I don't think I would buy one.

    I recently sent a bunch of blades off to Just Wright Sharpening to recycle them. You send your dull blades in, pay $2.00 a blade and get replacements.

    I asked my hubby for one for my birthday after trying my friend's at retreat. I LOVE IT!!! You just run the blade back and forth in the groove. I have one of the blue circle ones, and I HATE IT... nearly cut myself every single time trying to get the blade off and on the cutter

    My friend has a blade sharpener and I've used it and had great results!

    Bought one through Amazon. Sent it back. Didn't like it and just buy blades through them instead.

    I have the more expensive of the TruCut electric sharpeners purchased directly from them. I love it and use so many fewer blades than before.
