SHARPENING

WORKSHARP Knife&Tool Sharpener.

Well, I have to confess until I saw this being demonstrated at the Atlanta Blade Show, I would argue with anyone that "Crock Sticks" were the best alround knife sharpeners for the average knife user. However, that opinion has now been changed ! This American made (not China!!) machine is quite simply the BEST sharpener on the market. So simple ( and QUICK ) to use and capable of giving you the sharpest knife possible ( even sharper than most knives come from the factory ).

          In its simplest form, this machine is a small, hand held electric belt sander - a smaller version of what Custom knifemakers use to put on an edge to their knives. Comes complete with two "angle-guides" plus six belts ( 2x coarse, 2x medium + 2x fine ) and replacement belts are also available, although the original belts will last longer than you might expect - depending on use, of course.

           These sharpeners are not cheap by any means but will more than satisfy by sharpening virtually every and any knife you own. (I would suggest practising on a cheap kitchen knife to get a feel for what the machine is capable of, before trying it out on your favourite Custom or kitchen knife !).

INTRODUCTORY OFFER. £99. including postage.

OUT OF STOCK TOP CHEF Ceramic Sharpener.

Having tried pretty much every sharpener on the market, I have come to the conclusion that the most easy to use is the "Crock Sticks" method. This  method consists of "stroking/scraping" the knife vertically down the angled rods until a sharp edge is returned. This particular version has the advantage of having several pre-set angles to cover most grinds.

New. £29.

It's been very quiet on here recently as I have been to the European Knife Show, held in Strasbourg, France.

Met some great people and made several good contacts - as well as spending too much money ! All well spent however, as I will be presenting for sale some very fine knives from European Makers over the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I am busy catching up on emails and enquiries ( thanks for your patience ).
