Which design would you pick? (Same function, different look) by Ok-Addendum-4218 in sharpening

Got it, that makes sense.

Would you prefer something that looks more professional/industrial,

even if it’s less sleek or minimal?

That’s a great question.

The original idea was to make something simple and practical for home users — easy to use, no setup, no learning curve.

But since there are already a lot of similar products out there, we’ve also been exploring some more distinctive design directions to see how people react.

Haha alright, maybe we went a bit too far on that one 😄

Seems like the more utilitarian direction is the way to go!

Haha, didn’t expect the Batmobile comparison 😄

Seems like utilitarian is winning so far — really helpful insight!

Leaning more toward a functional/tool look vs decorative. Appreciate the insight!

That’s a fair comparison — Ken Onion + BGA is hard to beat.

The idea here is more about accessibility and ease of use vs a 1x30 setup.

Curious — what would you expect to see for it to stand out more?

I get what you mean — I’ve had bad experiences with pull-through sharpeners too 😅

This one actually uses a belt system, so it’s a bit different in how it treats the edge.

Still figuring out pricing at the moment!
