Chances are you've heard it said "a sharp knife is safer than a dull one"!
Spyderco believes this quote originated from first hand experience and find it to be true. The Sharpmaker was Spyderco's first product, which they made and sold before getting into the knife business. It's true -- First they made things sharp, then they made sharp things.Features:
- Self-Contained ABS Plastic Base and Lid
- Keyed Slots and Holes Die-Cut into the Base
- Two Sets of High Alumina Ceramic Stones
- A Set of Brass Safety Rods
- Includes Instruction Book and DVD
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 benchstone. The lid snaps halfway over the base creating a handhold for stability while you're sharpening. Included is a set of brass 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.
