The beauty of scary sharp is that you can get your tools...well, scary sharp without the expense of oil/water stones and grinders. All you need is a few sheets or carborundum sand paper and a flat surface. Although a hollow grind on a round wheel can definitely make light work of shapening, especially when first establishing your prefered bevel angle.
I like the Baldor because it's a quality built heavy duty grinder that I also use for other things besides sharpening....besides, it should last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. I also like being able to keep two different grit wheels on it at the same time. Of course with the dry grind you have to be very careful about heating the tip, but you also need to take the same care with a wet grind as well.
And now for today's weather....sunny, with a chance of legs
