I'm not sure where you get me placing a 40 degree bevel but oh well. this will never do an axe as it will not fit. As for sharpening a knife on stones, very few people are good at it and fewer still can make a consistent bevel of any kind. Even when stones were the only and common way to sharpen, the average person sucked at it. That's why the neighborhoods had sharpener carts going around doing your knives. I have never found anyone that could free hand hone or use any of the multiple systems such as the Lansky, that could come close to the sharpness level and consistent bevel reproduction that I am able with this.
Is it what I use on razors? No. Is it expensive? Yes. Would I buy it again? HELL YES! I have sharpened everything from a small MT blade to a 18" machete. Razor sharp everytime. Once you use it or see how well and fast it is it sells itself. All my friends that hunt/guide/do cook offs now own one or have me sharpen their blade. It works. Don't hate on it or claim you can do a better job free hand. In 5-10 minutes it's done. Dead no bevel to 0.0125 micon."We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
