proud owner of a sharpstone black 4pc from ebay($20 shipped). 4+ months going strong with no problems. also soaked more than a few times in iso to make QWISO. so, i vote sharpstone
my friend's chromium crusher is real good.. grinds the bud up real good, which, besides the kief tray, is the most important thing.
I got a Half black half(top) silver(bottom) clear topped Sharpstone for $20 buks off the Haight. Works perfectly and collects Keif like crazy
I don't like that the inside of the top of the CC grinder has some sort of metallic paint on it. i used it twice and noticed that there were rings of where it was rubbing off. I gave it away. My Sharpstone has never put out any metal shavings and i don't have to worry about smoking some kind of metal/paint.
I paid $25 for my Sharpstone from Amazon a while back, $7 for shipping so I only paid $18 for the grinder. Its got SO many holes for the product to fall through after grinding, way more than I've ever really seen. My friend has a Chromium Crusher, and his is just as nice. It's really up to you, which one you want.
Is this the sharpstone that the majority of people were talking about? Amazon.com: Clear Top Sharpstone Herb Grinder 4 piece: Everything Else 4 piece, clear top???
I have the old style sharpstone as well same as the poster above. when i originally got it about 2 years ago it did have an extremely small amount of metal shavings in the bottom of it. Cleaned it out when I got it threw a nickle in the chamber the weed falls into and lightly tapped it to get the rest of the shavings out. works perfect ever since. I leave the nickle in it to keep the keif banging through the screen a little better. Honestly you will prolly be happy with either grinder. Everyone who said SS is shit has terrible luck with grinder's or doesn't know that most new grinders will have small amounts of metal shavings in em. Like I said mine is about 2 years old and still grinds perfectly and gives me plenty of kief.
A lot of chromium crushers are non-aluminum so you don't get metal shavings in your bud. I bought a 4pc from amazon for $18.

ive had 2 sharpstones and have had to bend the teeth back into place on both numerous times, and have also had metal shavings in my bud/keif. and just in case you were wondering, one of them only grinded kush and dro, so no seeds or stems to blame. after dealing with that ive just been dreaming of a titanium space case.
