Great video, thanks for sharing that. Could you provide a link to the actual Amazon product page? I'd also like to save some money and get one of these knock-offs but I see a few listed and would prefer to get the one tried an tested by you.

I am another American that will do what ever I can to prevent any of my hard earned dollars from going to China. I just received my All American Sharpener. I am in the process of building my law mower blade sharpener stand so I haven't had the chance to use mine yet. It is quite aggravating to see this type of knock off already on the market. Yeah the All American is a few dollars more. But I am more than willing to spend those dollars if it will stay in America and go to the person that took the time and trouble to develop it. I am one of those that deliberately avoids Amazon because of the knock offs that it sells blatantly. Denny you have my dollars and support and will proudly advertise to all my family, friends, and co-workers about your product and amazing service!

I purchased the All American version yesterday. The quality, fit, finish, and overall workmanship of their product is something that the overseas market cannot even come close to.

The All-American Honda Adapter works in it, too. The one I got from Amazon has a nicely machined aluminum handle instead of the screwdriver handle and the angle adjustment knob is actually a machined aluminum knob. I like it and didn't have to make any modifications on it. I plan on using proceeds from mine to actually purchase the All-American straight from them. I bought the Honda Blade adapter on a gamble and to support them in what little way I can right now. The gamble paid off. Thanks for the video!

I looked at the AAS sharpeners and when I googled the part I found higher priced (compared to manufacturers website) authentic tools and the less than half priced amazon knock offs. I'm also retired and like to save money, but i also appreciate quality and craftsmanship and when I can afford it - I buy it. I ordered the AAS 5005 gen 2 earlier today along with another 'direct from the manufacturer' blade balancer- Magna-Matic Mag 1000 (blemished, to save some money).

Thank you very much for this video. I bought one of these knock offs ( different brand and seller) this past spring and it never was shipped and the seller would never respond or reply to any inquiries. I’m hoping I’ll get mine on Monday as I just ordered one. Thanks again and take care!!! Art

If you have an old worn-out blade, I suggest you practice with that one. The position of the grinder disk from the blade edge is critical.

I got one and it does a great job my blade's stayed sharp for a long time.

They are on sale now for about $85

Being a small business owner who has had my ideas and product stolen by unscrupulous pieces of crap competitors this strikes a chord with me. If I could afford to take legal action in my case I would and would do everything possible to put them out of business. All American, I will be ordering your sharpener soon!

Thanks for the video. Why didn't you just stick the base of the tool in your large vice?

Great video... thanks. I was actually wondering about this one today, 23/07/02.

Strange and kind of funny. So I had the opposite issue for the grinder rod to the guide. My hollowed bolt was far too loose and sloppy I used shrink wrap to get the correct diameter so there was no slip or play and ran 400 grit through the hollow nut to polish it for smoothness

The all American blade sharpener don't cost that much more. Support your fellow countrymen.

Thanks for posting. I was just getting ready to order the Dremmel blade sharpening kit while trying to figure out how to just make a wooden jig because I couldn’t justify the price of the AABS. This gives me another option.

I paid more for mine and love it

Nice Roundup product placement

I have been scammed on auto products from Amazon but I returned it.

My suggestion labeled the totes behind you, so you know what you got

Are you saying Amazon is presenting this as being the American model?

Thanks for sharing

Its alway nicer to have a nice knob 😂

Still happy with sharpener? How is it holding up?

Thank You for your video. I ordered one.

I'm glad for the innovation of the All American Blade inventor, but America will end up losing when competing with cost of labor and production. We're at the higher end of the food chain in wages and consumption while the rest of the world will do our same task for less money. That is why Apple is so successful, they utilize the best of both worlds ..the technology and ingenuity of leading countries and the labor and resources of poorer countries. Unless the cost of the American Blade Sharpener goes down, the cheaper model will most likely see better sales. I know its hard to lower cost since American companies have to pay employees health care, retirement and insurances on top of the regular business expenses, and other countries don't have this burden but globalization has its down sides. Its always a numbers game in the end, and sooner or later somebody will be knocking at your door to get your customers. Outside of outsourcing the manufacturing process, AAS can implement some of the tweaks from the knockoff to stay competitive and also offer a lifetime warranty on their products. The average homeowner or DIY who sharpen blades once a year is mostly going to be looking at cost.

I'm going to buy one and if there is anything wanky with it I will send it back. I just can't justify spending $220 for the All American.

Thanks for sharing this! I've been thinking about getting the "real deal " but didn't really like the price, when I don't have to have it. I have always sharpen my own blades....not very good but they work

Be careful of the handle that locks the blade in place, I've heard that it strips out easily, because the diameter of the threads is smaller than on the All American.

I’m using a 7 inch grinder and it is working fine. Can’t see spending money for any of them

Looking to buy the one you bought are you still satisfied with it

Well done

I assume this was made in China or some other foreign country

I was looking at these blade sharpeners on Amazon earlier a few days ago. Then I thought I would just wing it with a bench vice and just wing the angle by hand with a grinder. After seeing your video I broke down and ordered via your link. I am sorry but I could not afford $250 for the All American. The one you suggested was $95 with tax. Great video and thanks.

Such a waste. I put a blade in a vise and use a 40-grit flapper wheel ($23 for 10 on Amazon) in a drill. It takes very little material off and sharpens razor-sharp. A grinder removes way too much material making balancing more difficult. I do sharpen my blades often in this manner. if you're sharpening once a year you're not doing it enough.

I can live with 200 buck saving just got one for 45 bucks works great well made cant tell difference to the American

You’re using it wrong…the arm should be below the grinder, not out in front.

this is a ripoff product. a ripoff of a product that an american company worked hard to create. from your video description, its easy to tell that you know. i hope someone rips off one of your ideas, and makes money from it...although i dont see a lot of bright ideas coming from you. you should be ashamed recommending it.

screw gouging corporations. i know how companies exaggerate their r and d and investment costs.

There is no such thing as scam on Amazon. They have the best return policy. Do not like it then return for refund simple as that. I see the same item 1/3 the cost somewhere else. Amazon is NOT always the only place to buy. It pays to shop around and compare.
