I had always wanted to try their sharpener for a #11 blade. I found one on the da bay for a very good price. I am into SHARP because of my professional training & training as a Boy Scout.
I quickly receieved grief from my son. "I thought you used those blades because they are disposable. Sharpening them is a dumb idea and a waste of time."
I have used the sharpener and a single #11 blade to cut all the balsa parts for a Shark 15, two Magician 15's, & a Baby Clown. I am now sold on sharpening #11 blades. I can with a couple of quick strokes keep a blade rasor sharp quicker than I can change a blade. It is enjoyable always cutting with a sharp blade. I did not realize how quickly a blade starts to dull.
I am now addicted to the sharpener. I do not know how I got along with out one. I asumed that Edjer no longer made this sharpener as I have not seen them advertized in the last few years. I wrote them to see if they still had the replacement sharpening blocks for my old sharpener. I quickly received a catalog and a special offer on the replacement parts that I wanted. They have a new & improved #11 sharpener $19.95 + shipping $4.00. They also sell all types of blades and cutting instruments. Exacto, Skiver, Olfa, circle cutters, etc. I highly recommend their products. Edjer Co., Box 1775, Hemet, CA 92546 (951)925-2344 WWW.Edjer.com
