Ken,
I pretty much agree with that. I've heard good things about the Tormek and, although it is electric, it isn't what I had in mind when I made the above comments. I would imagine that the edge produced on the Tormek's stone wheel would be similar to the edge produced by any other type of stone properly used. However, the edge produced by my Chef's Choice, while razor sharp, definitely does not look the same under magnification as a stone produced edge, not nearly as smooth.
So, I wasn't really trying to say that there's no way to produce a great edge when electricity is involved. I was thinking about the type of edge I would expect Ben's $29 Presto might produce and trying to illustrate the small niche such sharpeners might find in a knife maker's shop ...
