This looks like a dream come true:

Anyone use one? Are they even out yet? I would like some feedback, but I already know I'm going to buy one.

Not used one, but I'd imagine it'd be great if it's anything like the fine stones on the Sharmaker

I thought about it but passed since it's pretty expensive for a block of ceramics. If it's like the white sharpmaker stone it's good for touchup and very light work as it's equivelent to 1200 grit sand paper, but doesn't remove material fast enough for medium to heavy work.

I think this sharpener is the answer for recurve blades. I haven't found a sharpener yet that will work for hawkbill blades and I think this one will do it.

Unless you insist on free hand sharpening, sharpmaker works pretty well. I use it to sharpen my hawkbill full serrated tasman salt.
