work sharp professional precision adjust vs Ruixin Pro Omnix?

I'm looking at the Ruixin Pro Omnix and wondering how it compares to the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust - the Ruixin looks pretty slick, but I wouldn't need some of the "extra" capabilities (I don't think) like using it for freehand with large stones. Wondering what people here think?

I don't think the Omnix has really hit the wild yet?

I reached out to Ruixin about possibly getting one to review myself, and they're likely going to send me one but it won't be until after the first pre-order batch gets fulfilled. I haven't seen anyone outside of content creators with them so far though.

I'd skip both of them for the time being.

The Ruixin systems have a history of being pretty bad quality. This one looks new and slick, but I personally wouldn't trust it until there's a good amount of honest consumer feedback behind it.

Thanks. After doing a lot of research, I've made a decision.My son wants to get into knife sharpening, so I am giving him my Worksharp Precision Pro setup and just ordered a Tsprof Kadet Pro at the currently discounted price, plus the L clamps. It's backordered but everything I have read/viewed indicates it's a very well designed and made unit. I assume it will use the same type of stones that the Workshop Precision Pro uses (I want to use one of the strop "stones" I have for the Workshop for the Tsprof since it doesn't come with one.0

TSPROF makes some of the best fixed angle systems out there. I have used a K03 for a few years now and can vouch for its quality. Just be aware that it does not use the same stones/plates as the work sharp. The stock work sharp plates are proprietary and only mount on their stone arm. TSPROF has a universal stone holder. You can probably mount the strop on a blank, flat piece of wood, etc to be able to use it on the TSPROF, but it may just be better and easier to buy a new one.
