Does any one know any thing about the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker | ||

I really like the triangle shaped rods. The stand it pretty useless if you know how to sharpen a blade. But buy it anyway, just to get the rods. 581BK-1102 Hybrid, 585-1BK Mini Barrage, 587SBK-1 Mini Warn, Bradley Alias I LE, 581, 525/Bone Collector, 941BLU, 520BK/Bone Collector, 760Ti Krein Regrind, 583SBK-1 Warn Tanto, HK14210, 707-701, 140HS, 551-101 Gold Grip, 941BC, 950BK M4, 220, 30, 42, 32, 53 | |||

It's good for keeping an edge sharp, but its a chore to re profile with. Get one, you will like it. Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | Member #960 | |||

+1. It's awesome for touchups. Sometimes I just lay the stick down and use it like an oil stone. | |||

Sharpmaker 204 was my first real angle guided system and like Po sez, the stones are worth the ticket. From a year's worth of use the mounting holes on the plastic box are sloppy, but for touchups works very well. Even though I've got the EP Apex 4 I'm gonna keep the 'SM' as a backup, although the ceramic rod on the EP4 does a great job, having good tools and backups for them is a good thing. 350, 520, 525, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

It sharpens quickly and without any effort or knowledge. I like mine a lot. My 710d2 shipped from the factory rather dull, and a few minutes on the sharpmaker made it razor sharp. -----cut here for free knives----- 556, 615-2, 831, 14210 | |||

My first two BM's, a 211 & 551, were delivered dull. I had a drawer literally full of dull pocket knives. As a woodcarver/turner for many years, I had a collection of AR stones, Japaneese waterstones, and diamond dust files. I could re-edge a single bevel to hair splitting sharpness - but I was unable to put an even double edge back to service. The Sharpmaker cured that - and it comes with a manual and DVD that really help. Get some Bon Amis to clean the rods often - that metal impedes the cutting. Re-edging can be a career with 440C/D2/S30V - touching up edge sharpness can take as little as 10-20 swipes on those edges, however. It really averages out any wrong angle (hand) by doing one side then the other, repeat. Of course, with BM, it's a crapshoot as to the original bevel angle. Bargain tool!

I like mine. Getting the extra rods (diamond and ultra fine) make it even better Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | Member #3 | |||

It's ok, if you're lucky and the factory edge on your knife matches one of their presets. Or if you don't mind freehanding it. My Sharpmaker hasn't left the case since I got the Edge Pro however. ______________________________ 530-901 / 610-A / 805-1101 / 950BK-1001 / 10750BP | |||
