Sharpener

Links? Pics? Vids?

There's a similar sharpener out there called the V-Sharp by Warthog.

Some differences.

1. The angle of the sharpening surfaces varies on the Bavarian edge during the sharpening stroke while the V-Sharp products maintain a constant angle throughout the stroke.
2. The BE uses tungsten carbine sharpening surfaces, the VS uses diamond hones.
3. The BE sharpening surfaces are not adjustable for angle, most of the VS variants can be sent to three different bevel angles.
4. The BE does not have a blade guide, the VS products have a blade guide to insure that the knife blade is held perfectly vertical.

Of course, the VS products cost a good deal more than the BE.

Looks like the Warthog was the inspiration for it and the "Bavarian" is a cheaper, as well as less expensive, limited product (as John pointed out).

If you want a V-Sharp it looks like you need to buy what you can find. Website says they are no longer in production. https://v-sharp.com/

Not sure what that's all about. The company name is Warthog Sharpeners, and their website is:

Yup, that's a good point. The Vsharp hones appear to be flat-edged so they wouldn't work on serated knives.
