Chances are you've heard it said "a sharp knife is safer than a dull
one". We believe this quote originated from first hand experience and
find it to be true. The Sharpmaker was Spyderco's first product, which
Spyderco made and sold before getting into the knife business. It's true
-- First, Spyderco made things sharp, then they made sharp things.
The Tri-Angle Sharpmaker includes two sets of high alumina ceramic
stones: A pair of medium-grit (brown) stones for aggressive sharpening
and a set of fine (white) stones for professional grade finishing. The
stones are triangular for sharpening Plainedges on the flat sides and
SpyderEdges (serrations) on the corners. A furrow running the length of
each stone lets you sharpen pointed items like fishhooks, darts and
awls. Included is a set of brass safety rods protecting the users hands
while sharpening. 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.
