Welcome Bob,
I’m glad you received your GO, I ordered mine on July 4th, 2017 and it arrived on Dec. 23rd. The re-design set them back and I’m glad to hear of your initial impression of the machine. I to think the wait was worth it in the long run. I have been using a WE130 for a time and I’m quite certain you will love that little guy. I ordered it as a curiosity and really didn’t think I’d have much use for it but it turns out it’s really good for smaller blades, translates well back to my 130 and it’s nice to be able to throw it in the truck with me as I roam about.
Good luck and be sure to sharpen the least desirable knives first so your stones can start breaking in before you put in on your better knives.
