Knife sharpener

It has the markings mine has from 2019, yet the photos on Amazon are different. I would be left wondering if there could be a possibility of improvements on the newer-built ones, but it could go either way I suppose.

It may depend on whether you would be okay buying it without a return option, or would rather pay another $53 from Amazon and be able to return it. Though I'm not very familiar with Ebay - perhaps they have return options too.

Yeah no return options. There seem to be a few just like this one claiming "unused open box" Kinda torn

Thread 'Rehash on knife sharpener'

So oldest daughter has indicated she wants a knife sharpener for Christmas (don't ask about late request it's the way it works with us sometimes). I know we hashed a lot of this out before. I know a Worksharp KO would be the "ticket" but I can't afford that for her (spoiled the younger one too much lately (another don't ask but let's just say it's gone WELL into the many hundreds with that one), anyway I thought someone had posted about a reasonable one from Presto (about $60) that did a great job. But all the searching on forums I did could not find it. So I need to know if anyone has...
 
So I got a lead on this one (offer sent by seller) for $75+shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/405765014802 Not sure if it's worth jumping on. Gives me an opportunity to get into one for not too much skin in the game.
Oddly I did buy that Worksharp for my daughter and to this day it's still in the box as she got it. Neither her nor SIL have tried it out. :D
Going back to the Chefs Choice product I see another one I may be able to snag for about $40 but it's the older version with the colorful graphic on it. Was there much if any difference between the newest and that one? Both carry same model designation
 
I just made this amateur vid a few mins ago in an attempt to prove that honing is all you need to do the vast majority of the time when you find yourself with a dull knife. Includes the tomato test. Instead of using a steel to hone, I'm using a KAI device which is designed for 15 degrees. :)

I hone mine like every other time I use. But, the edges on mine are truly worn down and many of my knives are begging to be sharpened. I just put an offer in on a new Chefs Choice VI hopefully it can come together. I had a couple other sellers send me offers on them, but I offered on the one being sold in IL rather than all the way across the country.
