Finally got the hang of my Sharpmaker!

#1

Post by Birdman21 »

Well after some trial and error, and some good advice from forum members, I finally have achieved my first well sharpened edge on the sharpmaker! As suggested I practice's on a few low end knives, and once I got the hang of it, moved onto my higher end stuff, now I am on a mission to make everything in my house hair popping sharp!! Lol! :eek: Thanks all for the tips!

I'm in the same boat. Finally got my sharpmaker to enable a knife to whittle hair.

Once I got the hang of it, and I saw wat everyone was talking about, a little lightbulb went off in my head and I was like "Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I see"! Lol! After that nothing in my house was safe! I swear, if there was a way or reason to sharpen salad spoons I think I woulda done it lmao

Congratulation! The Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker is such a wonderful tool!

And, yes, the Spyderco Diamond Triangle Stones are certainly worth the investment.
