I have a Ken Onion, I prefer the Tormek. I prefer the Chef's Choice over the Ken Onion too. If you're talking about the sharpener with the sandpaper strips, yeah, too much to keep track of. In reply to the Chef's Choice yes the plastic does get cut. I guess I like that I can set whatever angle on the Tormek I choose and it is pretty damn consistent. Again, since the stone is fine with some steels it takes a long time to get the burr to form.
