I've tried a variety of sharpeners throughout the years but some of my more expensive knives, such as RAT or ESEE 4 would not sharpen anywhere close to factory edge. I was tired of paying sharpening shops to do the work for me. I truly am a DIY type and like to do all work by myself. I needed a better solution...and I prefer all my knives to have razor sharp edge, always!
Upon many hours of research I came across a few youtube vids reviewing a grinder mounted paper sharpening wheels. The company is called Razor Edge Ultimate Edge Making System.

However, I'm really cheap and always try to find the best deal. Grizzly Industrial happens to have the best price on these wheel kits.
G5937 8" Razor Sharp System
As of 9/2012, it cost me about $45 shipped for the kit, which contains one grit edge making wheel and one paper wheel for high speed polishing. The kit also comes with extra grit to refinish the wheels many times, lubrication wax, and jewelers rouge. I installed these wheels onto my 6inch Harbor Freight grinder (me being cheap again.)
In my opinion, this is the best value for a quality sharpener. The edges can I can create are so razor sharp, they can meet or exceed factory sharpness for many of the knives I own. With the grinder doing all the work, I can simply and quickly create a new edge on my really dull knives or generate a super polish edge on my other knives (quick maintenance.) There is a bit of a learning curve so I suggest you try a few junk or kitchen knives to practice but after a few tries, you will be created razor sharpness. I've sharpened even scissors and it works great!
I am truly loving this this and suggest some of you knife lovers give it a try also. Most knives take about 1-2 minutes for a razor sharpen.
Also, check out the many youtube vids reviewing these paper sharpeners. (not affiliated with youtubbers or Razor edge making system whatsoever)
I don't think I'll ever use any of my many stone sharpeners ever again. Shoot me a reply if you guys have questions.
