Yeah my friend "Roman" is absolutely right about the 203 being the predecessor to the 204 Sharpmaker as we know it today. But that is one where they did much better the second go around in my humble opinion.bh49 wrote:did you mean 203? Because it was an original triangle sharpener.

There is another sharpening kit that Spyderco did do right the first time but they totally abandoned it :confused: I'm speaking of the original GALLEY V sharpening kit. The "Cat's Eye" stones in that kit are so versatile that you can just about sharpen anything with an unconventional design. It's the best stone to sharpen a Dodo model with period.
But for the most part Spyderco has actually improved their sharpening tools with modifications and completely new designs all together. Most people aren't even aware of either one of those kits i.e. GALLEY V and 203 Sharpmaker.
Now there is another sharpening tool that Spyderco also got right the first time and I'm speaking of the 701 Profile kit. I don't think anyone would argue with that claim .
