TrueCut TrueSharp Linear Sharpener Notion

Seems to do a fairly good sharpening

I recently (May '22) used a friend's True Cut True Sharp $36.99 (!!$!!) "Diamond Grit" Rotary Blade Sharpener (hand operated, not electric/plug in) that was a completely different style compared to the one that's currently available at Amazon. The only thing similar was the blue color of the sharpener. I searched for hers in stores, online, and on Amazon, to no avail. She said she'd purchased it over 3 yrs ago (not on Amazon). So I ordered what I thought was probably the next, newest, best -- it's the long one with a single slit, 13.5longx2.5widex3/4high" approx. This is a piece of junk, it doesn't work. It tore up my 60mm blade, and worked once for a 45mm blade and then failed completely. Complete waste of money. Only thing worse is the True Cut Electric blade sharpener available at Amazon for a whopping $59.70; another friend let me try this version, as she was wanting to get rid of it because she couldn't figure out how to make it work. I tried her electric version. It was even worse than the version I bought. A video I watched suggested if the blade is nicked, there's no repair possible. So buyer beware. Best advice? Be careful not to nick your blades on anything (easier said than done), and buy NEW blades when your old ones get dull

Works much better than the one I had

I'm not sure it sharpens very well. It says to run it 20 times, it feels like it's sharpening but it doesn't cut any better than before sharpening.

No instructions on how you're supposed to place in the Grove. Do you pressure straight down or lean to the side, do I turn sharpener to get other side to sharpener, should I use after every session of cutting. I tried on some blades I was ready to throw away, I thru them away!

5 minutes after the sharpener was delivered today I was trying it out. I love it. I had 2 old blades that I kept and i sharpened them both. One took longer than the other one but it works great for me. It did say it would also sharpen the 28 mm but it didn't sharpen mine. My 45 it did and I don't have a dull 60 mm to find out. I am excited about this though.

I had high hopes for this rotary blade sharpener after seeing it successfully demonstrated on youtube. Unfortunately, not only did it not work, but it actually made my blade even more dull than it already was. The sharpening “stone” was actually a piece of metal with grit on it that left visible scratches on the edge of the blade. So my dull blade that could cut through one layer of fabric, but not two, would not even cut through a single layer of fabric by the time I was through using this product. I followed the instructions to the letter, and my blade became more dull with each attempt. Sorely disappointed.

I bought this for the obvious reason. I does not work. I used it on both a 45mm and 60mm blade and neither seemed sharper, still dull.
