Tri-Angle Sharpmaker with Safety Rods, Instructional DVD, Two Premium Alumina Ceramic Stone Sets for Blade Repair and Professional-Grade Finishing - 204MF

ho provato tanti affilacoltelli mediamente economici ma tutti sono risultati scadenti, sembravano affilare ma in realtà hanno rovinato le lame, in particolar modo quelli al tungsteno letteralmente mangiavano il metallo sopratutto la parte centrale rendendo la lama concava. su vari siti di esperti tutti consigliavano le pietre ma senza esperienza è difficile mantenere l'inclinazione giusta per affilare bene. alla fine ho scelto questo spyderco sopratutto per la sua versatilità (si puo affilare di tutto compresi cacciaviti e ami) aspettandomi un buon prodotto ma è risultato essere un eccellente prodotto. lame che non tagliavano nemmeno il burro all'improvviso affilatissime. il funzionamento è semplice, basta inserire le bacchette negli appositi buchi prima di piatto poi dall'angolo e far scorrere la lama dritta e perpendicolare al piano d'appoggio sopra di esse(su youtube si trovano molti filmati tra cui anche quello del dvd fornito in inglese ma facilmente comprensibile) per piu e piu volte (da istruzioni venti). ci vuole un po di tempo ma il risultato è incredibile. volendo so che si vendono due bacchette ultra fine ma per le mie esigenze non necessito di lame affilate come rasoi nonostante il prezzo alto possa spaventare con questo kit non avrete piu bisogno di comprare affilacoltelli nella speranza che funzionino e sopratutto di coltelli nuovi perche i vecchi non tagliano,basterà perdere quei dieci minuti all'occorrenza e starete apposto per una vita.

After reading about lots of different techniques and products for sharpening knives I finally settled on this after some glowing reviews from around the internet and I must admit I am very very happy with this product. The first knife I sharpened was a cheap, yet brilliant, Victorinox pairing knife which had been slowly getting duller and duller for the past few months. Within 10 minutes it was razor sharp again and as good as new. With the included brass rods I never worried about cutting myself either. The instructions come in DVD form and in a manual and are very easy to follow but I would definitely invest a few minutes paying close attention to them as I think it would be as easy to ruin a knife as it is to sharpen it. In a nutshell however you start with the brown stones in the 40 degree holes and run the blade, held perpendicular, down the edge of the stones 40 times (20 each side in turn). You then do the same again on the flat of the brown stones before moving on and repeating the same process on the white stones. The one tip that I cannot stress enough is to not let the tip of the knife run off the stones as this will quickly round the tip and you will have a time re-profiling again. After building up a bit of confidence with the sharpening system I sharpened a few of my more expensive pocket knives and the results were just as impressive. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who wants to keep a few kitchen knives sharp to anyone with a keener interest in knives.

Why oh why did I wait so long to buy this? I've been collecting pocket knives for years. I have dozens in my collection and use at least one knife every day. Keeping your knives sharp is the key to using them safely. As the Sharpmaker instruction manual states; 'A sharp tool is a safe tool.' The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, all things considered, is probably the greatest thing to ever hit the knife market. Ease of use, affordability, durability, and end result are all important. The Sharpmaker is A+ across the board. Is it an Edge Pro? Absolutely not, but its also 1/5th the price. The Sharpmaker will take a dull edge and make it sharp. I've bought, used, and given up on multiple sharpeners over the years. From the pull through type to the clamp on type to a standard benchstone. I was able to cut with the edge I got off those other devices, but nothing like what I achieved today with the Sharpmaker. The Sharpmaker comes in a standard retail pack. Inside the package is the Sharpmaker, instruction booklet, and instructional dvd, The dvd content can also be found on YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the video, even before you buy the Sharpmaker. It's super informative and Sal Glesser shows you how to sharpen nearly every bladed implement imaginable. You can sharpen knives, scissors, hatchets, wood planes, razors and potato peelers, among other things. The Sharpmaker consists of medium rods, fine rods, the base, cover and brass hand guards. There is a 4 step process to sharpen dull knives. You could use the flats of the fine stones to just touch up knives. The angle guides are 40 degrees, 30 degrees for a back bevel and a 12.5 degree slot for scissors. The rods themselves are slightly delicate, don't drop them. Additional rods are available from Spyderco in Ultra fine and even a diamond variant. Today I sharpened a dozen pocket knives to hair shaving sharp. Words can't quite describe that feeling of giddiness you get when you get your knife so sharp that your arm hair just falls off in sheer terror.. After sharpening those I went on a mission to sharpen anything I could find in the house. I sharpened kitchen knives, scissors and even a potato peeler. The Sharpmaker is a legit tool for people who want sharp tools for a reasonable cost. If you're on the fence about getting this, get it. If you don't know if you want to spend $60 on this, do it, it's worth it. If you're concerned about whether or not you can master this tool, I'm confident you can. If you can hold a knife straight up and down, you can get scary sharp knives with this tool. Highly, highly recommend the Spyderco Sharpmaker. 10 out of 5 stars.
