I do have a few questions, though.

1. How easy is it to change over from one grit to another?

2. How close to the hilt can you get when sharpening?

3. How well does the tip get sharpened?

Good questions
The rods are a little pain to change with the small flat blade screws but I did it.
Most folks will not need the extra rods.

There is a slight offset in the sharpening due to one rod being closer to the hilt but I see no problem,
The whole working surface is sharp.

The tip is just as sharp.
after your knives are sharp all you need to do is leave the steel's in to refeather the edge.

I took mine to my dad's hunting camp Friday and I'll bet those guy's buy some.every knife was sharp when I left.

Can I adjust to varying blade angles? My Lansky limits my too much on some knives.

There are three angles on the V sharp
25,20 & 17

25 is listed for hunting knives
20 for spam knives
17 for filet knives

Thanks Mike, I'm going to have to order one of those. I bought a Lansky system that works ok. It does sharpen my Slick Trick blades very well. I'm with Rich on sharpening knives, I just can't get it right.
