Attention all blade smiths & savvy Ebay/internet purchasers...
Forgive potential silly questions from a naive internet consumer...
I desperately need a good knife sharpener & was going to buy one of these...
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lansky-Delu ... rk:10:pf:0As was a suggestion from marksman this thread...Ive had a brief look at sharpeners & i like what i see with this one compared to others.
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=8840But having a scoot around on Ebay, there seems to be a heap of cheap knock-offs...such as this...

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2018-Model- ... 0005.m1851which lead me to 2 questions i hope you blade smiths out there can answer/reassure me of...
!)...are these knock-off's worth the money--yes i know they are obviously knock-off's, but sometimes these things are a worthwhile bargain...so does anyone have experience with these cheaper knife sharpeners...?
2)...How do i know that by paying full price for what "appears to be" the legit item, i still wont get ripped by all these unscrupulous low life scum heads out there...?
Can anyone point a naive internet buyer in the right direction please...?
...i really need a good sharpener & want it for Christmas Callop & Festive Foxes.
Thanks heaps in advance...
