How much do they cost and where can people get them from?

Cost me just short of $900 in a kit with a few additional stones, tools and digital inclometre ( angle cube ) the stones make up over half the cost of that. I got mine from the Australian distributor called Zanvak online
Dimond stones ? Looks like it’s well made, I like what I’m seeing. Hmm I’ve been looking for a new sharpening system.

I got both in my kit, 3 x diamond hones course, medium, fine and 5 traditional water stones, Naniwa 220, chosera 600, chosera 1000, Naniwa 1k and a chosera 3k, i also bought a strop to fit the kit and limit stops to ensure i don’t over travel, you can get the sharpener way cheaper if you have bits already

Cool thanks for the info, looks way better quality than the other systems I’ve looked at. A little on the pricey side but it does look like you get what you pay for. Darn sexy bit of kit… 
I’ve played with a few cheaper kits over the years but most were so poorly designed i gave up, this one so far is delivering results
Think I’ll hold out for one of these then, sheesh you should be getting a commission lol…
I bought a few of the Naniwa stones but still have the issue of hand angles. I think you have value there based on the chinbay type jobs of similar design.
Looks like an over-engineered Lansky with three times as much metal. How perfectly Soviet. If you know a butcher, they’ll quickly show you how to hone the blade while you cut. Im not a butcher, but like many I used to be too shallow when angling the blade against a steel. A butcher I worked for corrected me, and then I didnt have to reprofile as much.

Same principal but a lansky can’t sharpen a scandi or convex knife, i looked at the lansky’s early on but they seemed a little imperfect, i can dial this thing within the half millimetre to any angle i want and use any 1x6 stone i want, where as with lansky your limited to their system of stones, yeah i paid for this privilege but i think its worth it when i’m sharpening $400 + knives

not quite ready to offer a sharpening service down the track, my knives are one thing but if someone was sending their knife in id want to get it perfect! Almost there, maybe another knife or two, but every blade shape and steel is different and responds differently to the stones, i think next on my list is 5,000 and 10,000 grit stones
Farkin hurry up and get ya shit together mate, sheesh… lol
10,000 grit are you trying to arouse me ? 
lol…

A cat with an epileptic seizure fellating a dead horse would arouse you, it’s not hard, to arouse you, I mean.

Can someone explain this relationship of numbers?
14,700 grit = 1 Micron
14.7 p.s.i = 1 BAR pressure
14.7:1 = stoichiometric air/fuel mixture
What is it about 14.7?
Bloody hell. 900 bucks. I’ll stick with my file,stone,and steel thanks
