Sadly, I did see a benefit in the Sharp N Spark sharpener. I used it for about 6 months straight sharpening any knife I could get my hands on each weekend. Chef knives, pocket knives...etc and got a nice edge on it. Over the last weekend I am finding that it is no longer working. I reached out to Brad with questions which I haven't heard back. 1. Can the Tungsten edge get dull over time and not sharpen the knife? 2. If that is the case is there a way to fix it?
1. Can it get dull over time and not sharpen (or take longer to sharpen) a knife? Yes. Will it? Eventually. I doubt it would happen over a period of 6 months or that it would happen suddenly. It would probably happen over a period of years or decades of use because tungsten carbide is so much harder than the materials you're trying to sharpen (9 on the Moh's scale vs. 4.5 on the Moh's scale) that it would be like water eroding marble or obsidian. To put it another way, I've got an Accusharp that Dad bought in the early-90s. He didn't use it a lot, but he used it some. I've been using it a good bit (1-2 knives a day, most days) the last few years. It still has the original tungsten carbide "teeth" in it and works fine. I might need to replace the teeth eventually, but I doubt it will happen for decades to come. Maybe if I was doing hundreds of knives a day, every day; but not with normal use. 2. Probably. But returning those corners to 90° angles would probably would require expensive machining equipment since whatever material you use to true the carbide would have to be hard enough to cut tungsten carbide (so over 9 on the Moh's scale or over 2600 on the Vickers Hardness scale) and precise enough to maintain a flat edge. That probably means some sort of diamond grinder/file/plate. Personally I'd suggest you keep trying to contact Sharpen's Best and/or Brad before trying to "fix" the sharpener yourself.

Haha no! Wet stones and proper sharpening tools don't sharpen knives for hard use. You're so full of hot air, it's hilarious the things you say.
Thank you. Have a great day.
