Smith's Sharpening System

This system is versatile enough to handle most standard blades, including kitchen, pocket, hunting, buck, and fishing knives. Its three-stage design allows you to maintain everything from heavy-duty outdoor blades to finer kitchen cutlery.

No, this is a completely manual sharpening system. You control the pressure and speed, which gives you more tactile feedback and control over the sharpening process compared to electric sharpeners.

The system uses a progressive sharpening method. You start with the coarse stone to reshape or repair the edge, move to the medium stone for sharpening, and finish with the fine Arkansas stone to hone and polish the blade to a razor-sharp edge.

The sharpening angle is fixed, but the system includes a built-in angle guide to help you maintain a consistent bevel every time you draw the blade across the stone. This takes the guesswork out of finding the correct angle manually.

The honing solution is essential for keeping the pores of the stones clean. It prevents metal filings from clogging the abrasive surface, which ensures the stones remain effective and last significantly longer.

No, this system is not dishwasher safe. The stones should be cleaned manually using the provided honing solution and a cloth to wipe away metal debris after each use.
