Prices for the Pferd and Stihl ‘2 in 1' sharpeners?

[sheral]

Long story but wanting to know what the rough prices are on the Pferd verses the Stihl ‘2 in 1’ sharpeners? I live in Canada and Amazon shows the Pferd prices around $60. Tried searching online to see what the Stihl brand goes for in Canada and am striking out.

This info may help me to simply order one to a friends address in Sumas, WA., if the Canadian prices are too crazy... Thanks.

Paid around $40 cad for my stihl one at the dealer a year ago, never seen a Pferd for sale in BC, but got a used one @yard sale.
BTW lived Gibsons for 20yrs. Welcome aboard,,,

OK I see that you are looking for Canadian info , I think he's in Kansas, Canada a little known suburb of Vancouver. Sorry not as much help as I had hoped to be.
But he does say that they are great, if you needed a review...

Welcome to the club of misfit lumberjacks!

If I do end up ordering online, to confirm, this is the right one to get for the 461? It has a skip chisel chain on it, new from the Stihl dealership.

Pferd Model 17303

The system is really designed for full comp. Cause it needs to ride on the tooth in front of the one you cutting to work the best.

Bought one yesterday. It was $39 at the local Ace Hardware store. They are a Stihl dealer. Easy to use, hope it helps my lack of filing skills!

I have them and like them a lot. I think this is what you want...

And full skip as you can see with out that tooth in the front for the guide rail to ride on it throws everyting off.

So a spacer is needed to keep it at the right height?
