Spyderco’s Tri-Angle Sharpmaker takes the mystery out of this process and enables anyone to sharpen a knife effectively with just a few minutes practice. Its durable ABS plastic base contains keyed holes that accurately set the stones’ sharpening angles at a 30° (15° each side) or 40° (20° each side) for sharpening knives. Simply keep the plane of your knife’s blade vertical and draw the edge along each stone to sharpen. It’s that simple. For serrated blades, use the rounded edges of the stones and a slightly looser grip to allow the stone to flow into the recesses of each serration. The Sharpmaker system 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. A set of aluminum safety rods protects your hands while sharpening and all components snap into the self-contained ABS plastic base and lid for easy storage. Every Sharpmaker comes complete with a detailed instruction book and DVD that guides you step by step through the process of sharpening knives, scissors, awls, and many other tools. SPECS Made in the USA Instruction DVD Included ABS Plastic Base Easy-to-Use Set Stones at 30° (15° each side) or 40° (20° each side) for sharpening knives THE SPYDERCO WAY Spyderco is a business that provides state-of-the-art innovation and product quality while maintaining traditional values and service. Review: Great Sharpening System - I have to add my own praises for this little baby. This is a great little unit. In all the years I've been buying products from desertcart this is the first review I felt was worth doing (sorry for the length of it in advance). I have Henckel and Wustof knives and noticed that some were in need of a sharpening. First off, like a lot of the folks who bought this, I'm no sharpening master, and someone had recommended a hand-held pull through sharpener from a well-known company. Salesman said I wouldn't regret it. Wrong! I think it actually made the knife I tried it on worse. Dutifully followed the directions, first pull through slot one then slot two etc, but the knife couldn't pass the paper cut test (and frankly the grinding sound it made as I pulled the knife through the slots made my hair stand on end so it might have been defective). Spoke to a friend of mine who is a kitchen knife nut. He has many blocks of knives that he collected over the years and still uses. He recommended whet stones and manual sharpening the old school way. So, spent waaaaay too much time on-line looking at youtube sharpening videos. Looked interesting but was not too keen on my chances of getting and keeping the right angles for all the knife sizes. There are tricks on the web like using a certain amount of pennies or quarters stacked up at the back of the knife to raise it up and get the right angel. But the examples I saw seemed to be mostly for bigger chef knives. What happens when the size of the knife changes? If you have to go from a wide Chef to utility, steak or really thin boning or paring knives, then how many pennies? And then I wondered, if I did manage to find the angle can I keep it throughout the sharpening? Maybe not. Might graduate to freehand stones at some point but right now just wanted to get my knives sharp without a lot of fuss. So, kept hunting around for various contraptions (Yes, I was obsessing by this point). Electrics and pull through were out after my last experience. Mechanical contraptions? Lots of them and some looked really good but could cost up to 150-250 dollars. The cheaper ones looked a little flimsy to me and read some bad reviews on construction quality. So came down to a few options like this one. Liked the look of this unit as it looked pretty well constructed and thought out. And seemed simple and fairly fool proof to use, just pull down along the rods. (Hint; This unit comes with a DVD training video as well as a booklet. The actual training video is uploaded on youtube by Spyderco in 4 parts. So you can view the training video before buying the unit and see how it works and what it does. Search for Spyderco Sharpmaker - Introduction uploaded by Spydercoknives. Strongly recommended). Ordered on Thursday, delivered on Monday using standard shipping (extra points for quick service). First up, a by now fairly dull Henckel utility kitchen knife. I had already watched the training video on-line a couple of times so went right to it. A few minutes later the knife sliced through paper like a razor. No fuss, no muss. No worrying about holding angles. Just keep the knife straight up and down, which was very straight forward. I've read comments that if you have to aggressively re-profile a badly damaged blade the medium stone on this may not be enough. That's true of individual whet stones as well. If you have a badly damaged knife that you need to remove a fair amount of metal from you'll need to buy a very course stone. A medium/fine, 1000/6000 combination Japanese water stone won't do it either. Did I mention I spent way too much time researching this stuff? The whole stones area is a virtual sub-culture; Arkansas stones, Japanese stones, water stones, oil stones and ceramic stones (which is what the rods that come with this are)and so on. If you had standard stones for manual sharpening you'll need 3 grades at least if you have a lot of badly neglected knives, coarse, medium and fine. You'd need something like a coarse diamond stone to re-profile the blade and this unit has optional diamond stones/rods that you can buy for just that, if needed. In fact, it also has optional ultra-fine stones that you can buy. That was one of the selling points, that this unit is expandable. That being said, the rods that come with this are probably all you'll ever need. You probably won't need those optional rods for most ordinary sharpening. Like I said I had a pretty dull utility knife that couldn't cut through much anymore that was sharpened razor sharp with the rods provided with this unit. Also all my steak knives, none of which could cut through the paper, now all of them do. Even did an experiment with one of the steak knives. Used the old pull through again, following the directions and it just tore at the paper. Then used this unit. Now it cuts through no problems. You might have to go through the whole sharpening sequence a couple of times for very dull knives but once they're sharpened just the occasional touchup should do. So I would suggest you start with what comes in the kit and get the optional diamond rods later if needed. Almost all Western style Kitchen knives come at 40-45 degree angles inclusive from edge to edge (20-22.5 on just the one side) on the bevel. Don't have hunting or field knives so can't comment on that, but note other reviewers comments that they may have fatter angles and need more effort to reshape to 40 degrees. It also sharpens a bunch of other things like scissors and tools, again I would suggest you watch the training video online, but I haven't used it for any of that yet so can't really comment. I really think this is an excellent product and think it does everything as advertised. Would buy it again in a heartbeat. I'm like the other reviewer actually looking around for more things to sharpen now. Only 2 last pieces of advice; Firstly, the video recommends that with the coarse stones you rub them together a little to break them in and get the factory fresh smooth surface off of them. They will do this by themselves when sharpening knives for a while but this gives them a head-start. It's the coarse grit that does the sharpening. So if you don't get the results you were expecting for the first knife or two that might be the problem. You need to break them in a little first. Secondly, it doesn't take a lot of pressure. First couple of times I noticed my hand was starting to get tired. I was pressing way too hard. So if you notice your hand getting tired just ease up on the pressure. Review: Another Spyderco home run - Why oh why did I wait so long to buy this? I've been collecting pocket knives for years. I have dozens in my collection and use at least one knife every day. Keeping your knives sharp is the key to using them safely. As the Sharpmaker instruction manual states; 'A sharp tool is a safe tool.' The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, all things considered, is probably the greatest thing to ever hit the knife market. Ease of use, affordability, durability, and end result are all important. The Sharpmaker is A+ across the board. Is it an Edge Pro? Absolutely not, but its also 1/5th the price. The Sharpmaker will take a dull edge and make it sharp. I've bought, used, and given up on multiple sharpeners over the years. From the pull through type to the clamp on type to a standard benchstone. I was able to cut with the edge I got off those other devices, but nothing like what I achieved today with the Sharpmaker. The Sharpmaker comes in a standard retail pack. Inside the package is the Sharpmaker, instruction booklet, and instructional dvd, The dvd content can also be found on YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the video, even before you buy the Sharpmaker. It's super informative and Sal Glesser shows you how to sharpen nearly every bladed implement imaginable. You can sharpen knives, scissors, hatchets, wood planes, razors and potato peelers, among other things. The Sharpmaker consists of medium rods, fine rods, the base, cover and brass hand guards. There is a 4 step process to sharpen dull knives. You could use the flats of the fine stones to just touch up knives. The angle guides are 40 degrees, 30 degrees for a back bevel and a 12.5 degree slot for scissors. The rods themselves are slightly delicate, don't drop them. Additional rods are available from Spyderco in Ultra fine and even a diamond variant. Today I sharpened a dozen pocket knives to hair shaving sharp. Words can't quite describe that feeling of giddiness you get when you get your knife so sharp that your arm hair just falls off in sheer terror.. After sharpening those I went on a mission to sharpen anything I could find in the house. I sharpened kitchen knives, scissors and even a potato peeler. The Sharpmaker is a legit tool for people who want sharp tools for a reasonable cost. If you're on the fence about getting this, get it. If you don't know if you want to spend $60 on this, do it, it's worth it. If you're concerned about whether or not you can master this tool, I'm confident you can. If you can hold a knife straight up and down, you can get scary sharp knives with this tool. Highly, highly recommend the Spyderco Sharpmaker. 10 out of 5 stars. ## Features - Complete Sharpening System - Includes medium and fine grit ceramic stones for both edge maintenance and precision sharpening of knives and tools. - Versatile Performance - Perfect for sharpening knives, awls, scissors, and and many other tools, making it an all-in-one solution for your sharpening needs. - Effortless Sharpening - The Tri-Angle Sharpmaker makes sharpening easy, removing steel at the edge while maintaining consistent angles for precise results every time. - Two Grit Options - Comes with medium-grit (brown) ceramic stones for aggressive sharpening and fine-grit (white) stones for a professional-grade, polished finish. - Safe & Compact Design - Includes aluminum safety rods to protect your hands during use, and all components snap into the durable ABS plastic base for convenient storage.

However it’s one purchase I don’t regret. The long triangle stones do a great job on both straight and serrated edges. Most of the competition have shorter rods and usually only round. Those cheaper systems are decent to good but the Sharpmaker is a bit more refined. The instruction video is very informative and I believe someone who has never sharpened a knife will have success. However this and similar systems are at their best keeping a sharp knife in peak performance. As the kit comes it would take a long time to put an edge on a truly dull knife (depending on the steel). The diamond stones I see for sale would probably solve that problem. I have been routinely using this with the stock stones to hone Maxamet, D2, M4, VG10, 154cm and softer steels like AUS 8 and 420c; works great. I have had one problem just the other day and it was completely my fault. Ceramic stones require the occasional cleaning with powder dish detergent and a brush. Wile setting up I knocked my wash bowl off the counter and broke one of each stones. I was able to find replacements here on Amazon for about $11 per stone or about $20 per set. I think highly enough of this that I immediately ordered the replacements. At some point I’ll probably get the diamond stones for it, I think it would make for some easy sharpening. For now if a knife gets dull I use a flat diamond stone (requires practice and skill) or Worksharp electric sharpener (these can easily damage your knife if you’re not carful) to set the edge then finish on the Sharpmaker and sometimes a leather strop. That’s probably a bit overboard for most people. I think this is one of the best tools to maintain your knives with a very low learning curve. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, Complete Knife Sharpening System with Medium Grit and Fine Ceramic Stones for Professional-Grade Finishing - Compact, Easy-to-Use Design - 204MF - Spyderco - Tri-Angle White Sharpening Stone with Ultra-Fine-Grit for Professional-Grade Finishing and Polishing - 204UF1 - Spyderco - Tri-Angle Diamond Sharpening Stones for Professional-Grade Finishing and Polishing - 2-Pack - 204D --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1871100-tria-angle-sharpmaker](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1871100-tria-angle-sharpmaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
