We forgot about Bud's comments. There is a certain appeal attached to the KN100 and part of that appeal is it's raw analog output. Ken is correct, we have yet to manufacture a tester that exceeds the accuracy of our original edge tester product and it is a product that will last for generations. That being said, you already own a very practical and useful electronic tester. While the KN100 may be more accurate than your PT50 one must ask the question of the value of this added accuracy for the typical knife sharpener. You can take three measurements with your PT50 in the time it takes to take one with the KN100 and your PT50 is a self contained system.
It is an interesting phenomena though we admit. Original KN100 users will not give them up in favor of faster, easier and more compact electronic units. Don't worry about the availability of KN100's should you decide to put one in your museum. They'll be around for some time yet.
