Need help with Sharpmaker

[curlyhairedboy]

The edges need to be facing each other! :D

Clearly the issue is excessive heat build-up, I've dealt with this in the past.

You need to immerse yourself and the whole assembly in an ice bath.

Hi Spydergirl,

Did you take it apart?

[SG89]

yes I took it apart and I stripped the brass rods :confused:

[sal]

Gail suggested maybe lighting candles and chanting?

They should sell a parts kit with new brass rods! :rolleyes:

EDIT: Oh wait...they do sell a parts kit. It's called the Sharpmaker 204 and it comes with everything you need to build a new one.

[mattman]

You're *clearly* using too much pressure.

[npad69]

spyderco should've indicated in the accompanying video not to take apart their sharpmakers. shame on you spyderco for not taking the responsibility for this problem that you created! :p

[Squawk]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[Evil D]

You need to blow in it like a NES cartridge.

You need to blow in it like a NES cartridge.

Haaha

[ThePeacent]

did you turn the power button On? :confused:

Thanx much Spydergirl,

More fun than I've had on this forum for a long time. :D

[SG89]

Do you use 87 octane gas or 91 for Sharpmaker?

[Tdog]

Silly girl, you should know better than to try and sharpen 4 knives at one time. Take 3 out and you should be fine. :p

[SG89]

I siphon drip from an old gas well in the woods. if it's good enough for my old truck it's good enough for my spydies... makes them smell funny tho... and it eats through the FRN...

[mb1]

You might try cleaning the whole thing with BKF first. Then add a strop.

Good one SG! Thx for some smiles. :spyder:

[StuntZombie]

Guys, am I doing this right!? Can't get my knives sharp using the 40 degree or 30 degree settings. Tried sharpening s30v, s90v, hap40... nothing works!!!
Please look at the picture below and see if my technique is wrong


I've been spending too much time on Instagram and Twitter, because I just tried to "like" your post :p

Also, you've got the Sharpmaker upside down. That might be your problem.
