Knife sharpener source?

Haggis

I'm trying to help my kids find a source of the Chefs Choice M1520 knife sharpener - the one that does both 15 and 20 degree angles. Every place I've looked sells it at the list price of $200 - maybe that's the best there is but I thought someone here might know of a less expensive source . . .

Just do a search for the model number. I found this for $170. Still would prefer to sharpen by hand though.

Forget about the electric sharpeners. Go with an Edge Pro...in my opinion, it will be the last sharpener you need.

The regular version, not the pro is amazing, I have one and could do surgery with the edge I put on a knife...the Apex 2...

Oops, responded to the wrong posting.

Anyway, I would also get an Edge Pro or Apex rather then an electric sharpener. It will deliver a razor edge without taking much metal off the blade. It isn't difficult and superior to any other electric sharpening method.
