Just reccommending this product, as it is idiotproof. I don't really like the feel of using it, but it puts razor edges on my knives in no time.
I just put a nice shaving edge on my RD4 in like two minutes. It did the RAT3 D2 in about 1 minute and made it as sharp as any knife I've ever owned.
Again, I really like the feel of sitting down with a stone, and screwing up my edge because I suck at sharpening. Obviously, the results aren't as good. Sooooo... If you're sharpening impaired as I am, check out the Spyderco Sharpmaker!

I'm thinking of getting one, but I want to know if it'd sharpen recurved edges like the Rat Mini Mojos?

I think its probably one of the best products out there for recurve blades... I'd have a hard time on a stone sharpening a recurve - the Sharpaker uses those rods - should work great!

Just remember that most Busse's are convex and it will ruin the convex edge.

Ooo~~~ Convex+recurve... how would you sharpen that? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Don't drive yourself crazy, bigocean. Send your mojo to me and I'll sharpen it for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> LOL, I have yet to receive the DF, let alone the Mini Mojo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Same way you sharpen a Bark River Slither. Mouse pad and sandpaper. I guess?

hey one good thing about the sharpmaker is you can use it to learn how to sharpen freehand.. every time you use it just imagine turning it so the stone is flat and the knife is at an angle.. when you can visualise that try it with a whetstone of some sort.. if you mess up go back to the sharpmaker again.. do that a few times, quite a few, and you'll be able to sharpen spyderco angle knives freehand.. and from there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> cheers ug
