I have wondered why my bench stone sharpening results were not first class. Being a lefty, I have been handicapped by using right handed stones.

When will Tormek offer left handed grinding wheels?   :)

When you see Japanese knife sharpeners on their huge waterstones that does not seem so absurd. Also grandpa's huge sharpening wheel. We actually have one here. I intend to build a new frame for it.

Rich,
I remember the link you posted. My favorite was the photo of the Tormek with a digital control panel posted on the forum years ago by Grepper.

John,

As a fellow leftie, I feel your pain. I reground a santoku knife to left handed by making it single bevel ground on the right side.

Ken
