Mr. Bud,
I owe you and Mr. Grepper an explanation. The Viel has received much more press than the Kally. I can't speak for others, however I should share my reason for choosing the Viel instead of the Kally. There was a definite reason.
I first learned about the Viel from Leonard Lee's Sharpening video. I have always held the late Mr. Lee in high regard. He demonstrated what a useful and versatile tool the Viel could be. More recently, my friend and sharpening mentor, Steve Bottorff, also demonstrated how effectively he uses his Viel in his Sharpening School DVD.
Two respected respected sharpening experts recommending the Viel. Did that mean the Viel was a better or more useful tool than the Kally? Absolutely not. All it means is that I had not yet met any Kally experts. Do not rush to judgement against the Kally presuming my total lack of experience with the Kally.
I would suggest in the interest of fairness, that the moderator allow Kally owners to testify why they like their Kallies
