Caroline, You can buy a new or refurbished HI-76 knife sharpener thru Hacker Instruments and it will come with a warranty. If you find one on Ebay, you can get the replacement honing and stropping wheels from Hacker. ( I know, it's quite the name for a company that sells knife sharpeners). The HI-76 comes with an instructional video. It's the one thing that is usually missing when you acquire used equipment. The guy you need to talk to at Hacker is Jim Mullen 800-442-2537. Good luck with your search.

Hey Guys, What¹s the most convenient and economical way to sharpen a knife for an AO860? I know there are commercial services you can send the knife to. I¹ve also seen used knife sharpeners on ebay. Since my AO microtome is so nice, I¹m tempted to get one of the AO knife sharpeners (like the 935). Any recommendations on what to buy or look for in a used knife sharpener? Any recommendations for a book or website on basic knife sharpening techniques? Thanks, Caroline Bass _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
