I fish in Cayman waters for Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo and Dolphin and use Mustad stainless steel hooks. They are great hooks, but not very sharp out of the box. On windy days I sit in my garage with the "PointMaker" quietly whirring away, and put points on my (8/0, 9/0 & 10/0) hooks that are SO SHARP... they are scary! Ive owned my machine for about 10 years and have never had to replace the blade. Wahoo Willie, Grand Cayman, BWI

I have owned one of these sharpeners for 20 years. For 3 years, back in the mid 80's, I made jigs and spinnerbaits and sold them. Every one was sharpened on the "Point Maker". I have never had to replace the wheel and it still works great. When you get the knack of how to hold your hook to the wheel your on your way to the sharpest hooks you ever owned. With my "Point Maker" I can make any hook twice as sharp as the so called "sharp" hooks they sell today. "WARNING", once you sharpen all your hooks on all your lures with this sharpener "NEVER" reach into your tackle box again without looking. "I LEARNED THE HARD WAY".

We purchased this as a gift for our son. My husband has owned one for over 30 years and it's still going strong. He has won several bass tournaments swearing it was his extra sharp hooks. He even made and sold lures sharpening each one. It is also creditable for keeping all my kitchen knives sharp as well as fillet and hunting knives.
