Review on ✏️ Ultimate Precision with Tri Angle Sharpening Kit - Medium Fine by Young Toulson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker is excellent, but it takes a little effort to learn how to use it.

I bought this because many of my friends recommended it. In my opinion it works very well and is easy to use, but there is a learning curve that a new user has to overcome. You must have good eye coordination and common sense to get good results. Once I got over that learning curve, I really fell in love with this knife sharpener. You must be able to hold the knife upright at all times for it to work properly. If your knife has not been sharpened for a long time or was not properly sharpened prior to using the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker, additional beveling with a coarse stone and/or additional work with a 40 degree stone will be required to shape the sharpening. edges to their original specifications. Once you have restored the original edge pattern, subsequent sharpening is very easy and quick. Compared to other sharpeners I've used, the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker is the easiest to use to restore the original knife template. Another thing I've found useful for speeding up sharpening is wiping the stone with a damp rag to remove the metal shavings that build up on the stones. I have sharpened many scissors and knives with both regular and serrated edges and have had very good results with the standard stones that come with the kit. The good thing is that this sharpener doesn't wear down the knife by removing too much metal like some electric sharpeners do, the only downside is that it takes longer but gives better results and you can sharpen your knife without an outlet to need. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend these sharpeners to people with good hand-eye coordination and some patience for the learning curve that some people can experience. So if you buy one and think it won't work I can guarantee it's not the knife sharpener's fault so be patient as it has worked for me every time. I give him five stars.
