204MF - Tri-Angle Sharpmaker - Sharpening System
Chances are you’ve heard it said “a sharp knife is safer than a dull one”. We believe this quote originated from first hand experience and find it to be true. This is our most highly recommended complete sharpening system.
The Sharpmaker was Spyderco’s first product, which they made and sold before getting into the knife business. It’s true — First Spyderco made things sharp, then they made sharp things. The Tri-Angle Sharpmaker includes two sets of high alumina ceramic stones: A pair of medium-grit (brown, 600 grit) stones for aggressive sharpening and a set of fine (white, 1200 grit) stones for professional grade finishing. The stones are triangular for sharpening PlainEdges on the flat sides and SpyderEdges (serrations) on the corners. A furrow running the length of each stone lets you sharpen pointed items like fishhooks, darts and awls. Included is a set of aluminum safety rods protecting the users hands while sharpening. All components snap into the self-contained ABS plastic base and lid — ready to travel with you. Die-cut into the base are keyed slots and holes fitted for the stones. They accurately set the stone’s sharpening angle at a 30° (15° each side) or 40° (20° each side) for knives and a 12.5° scissor setting. Turn the base over, a channel lets you lay two stones side-by-side (flat-side up) for use as a bench stone. The lid snaps halfway over the base creating a handhold for stability while you’re sharpening. Included is a set of aluminum safety rods to protect the users hands while sharpening. Ceramic stones, like glass, will break if dropped — handle carefully. Use them dry, without oil, water or lubricants. To clean: scrub stones with a plastic scouring pad and powered abrasive cleaner, let air-dry. Also autoclave safe. System comes with instruction book and DVD.
We unequivocally recommend the Spyderco (Model 204MF) Triangle Sharpmaker. It will sharpen any blade, any steel, and any edge. It is easy, accurate, and most importantly removes the minimum amount of steel necessary to create a razor ‘scary sharp’ edge. You will not be disappointed!
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SHARP-
No cutting tool can ever realize its full potential without a properly sharpened edge, but for many people, sharpening remains an elusive skill. It doesn’t have to be.
Before Spyderco ever made knives, they created revolutionary tools to keep them sharp. Working closely with America’s leading manufacturer of industrial ceramics, they developed their versatile, easy-to-use Tri-Angle Sharpmaker to demystify the sharpening process and enable anyone to quickly bring their knives to a razor edge. Since then, Spyderco has added a broad range of other sharpeners, all proudly sharing the same key qualities: they are quick and easy to use, don’t require oil, water, or complicated clamps and fixtures, and don’t need electricity. Most also easily sharpen serrated edges while prolonging the working life of your blade. There’s no excuse to settle for anything less than optimal cutting performance. Get the edge you need on all your kitchen knives and other cutting tools with Spyderco sharpeners.
