We are intertested in purchasing a used microtome knife sharpener. I was 
hoping for some advice. I've noted a few American Optical models for 
sale for what seems a rather cheap price. I think Leica picked them up 
or is the same company. Are these shapreners difficult to get parts for?
I'm also interested in comments on "Hacker knife sharpeners" Even new 
they seem rather inexpensive compared to other models.
We could go new if the price was right and have GSA money if anybody 
could point me in the right direction. Unfortunately the right price is 
less than $1000, so I am not hopeful on a new model.
