What's the catch with this sharpener?Why should I get a better?
I bought a cheap Two Stage Smith's sharpener from Lighthound among some other things.

I really havent been that much in to sharpening before, got me some diamond sharpeners, but they we're next to useless on my knifes (mostly mora, opinel, leatherman tools, and victorinox). But this little cheap sharpener has made my knifes razorsharp, almost all of them! I was wondering if there we're any catch with this one and that I should buy a more expencive system. Maybe it grinds down the knifes too fast? I maybe shouldnt use it with kitchen cutlery (allthough it has worked fine with the ones I have)? I'm definetely no expert on sharpening, neither are my friends and family, but everybody I have showed this to are REALLY impressed. Allthough I guess most people (including me) doesnt really take care of their cutlery, getting a 100USD Global and then not take care of it is all too common.
