Tools and Hardware Reviews of Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Knife Sharpener 204MF
Customer Review: Excellent Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
Within a day or two of opening the package, the Spyderco 240 MF had all our knives in very good condition. We have a dozen Wusthof Classic kitchen knives, and they needed attention. It took way more than 20 strokes on the coarsest grind to reshape the blades, but once this had been done, the rest of the process was pretty much as advertised. Now they are all quite sharp, and keeping them that way is easy with the Spyderco. The training video takes a while to get to the point. The manual will get you going in much less time. Rather than abuse them with our old ridged steel, we have been using the fine stones to straighten the edges between uses. Probably not ideal, but the chance of removing enough metal to matter seems remote.Customer Review: Excellent service and Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying the Spyderco 204 I researched sharpeners because I wanted to get one that was easy to use but would put a long-lasting edge on kitchen, hunting, pocket knives. Most sharpeners are more trouble to operate than they are worth, or don't do a decent job, or worse, damage knives in the process. The Spyderco was recommended as being the easiest to use for the best results. It is simple to set up and use and comes with a video that shows you exactly how to operate it which is a big help.
It sharpens my knives very effectively. Best of all, the plastic base that came with mine was defective, so I sent it back and the company replaced the entire case promptly.
Customer Review: Excellent sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
DVD that came with sharpener was quite worthless, watched ten minutes and I didn't see anything of use, and turned it off. Instruction manual was sufficient. Sharpener is simple to use, and works well. No complaints about the sharpener. Wish I didn't have to pay money for the DVD.Customer Review: Excellent, Convenent, Home-Sharpening System
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used Smith Stones (poor at best for a razor-sharp knife: leaves an abrasive cutting edge), Lansky (good system, but nowhere near as good as the Spyderco Tri-Angle),and finally the Tri-Angle. This Spyderco sharpener has produced factory-sharp edges on my Benchmade CPM 150 and my Kershaw S30V, 14C28N,and 440C steel blades from Kershaw. I ordered the Ultra-Fine Rods with the system and often use them to reestablish or hone the edges on my knives. I prefer using the 30-degree angle option on this system for a finer cutting edge. Repeatability is easily achieved with mindful knife movement along the ceramic rods. This system is an improvement over the well performing Lansky because one can sharpen practically any length and any height blade. There is no clamping system like the Lansky. It's impossible to accurately sharpen a blade like the one on the SOG Twitch and Twitch II using the Lansky--you cannot get a 'bite' on the blade in the Lansky vice, which is an integral part of Lansky's system. With the Tri-Angle, however, you free-hold the knife at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener's base and slide and pull the blade back from rear to front. You do this repeatedly, lessening pressure on the blade throughout the process. I supposed we develop our own technique, subtle as they may be, to get the desired sharpness. The learning curve is brief, by the second or third session, I was producing excellent blade edges, exactly as I wanted them. By far the best system I've used. I've not tried the Edge Pro, but see no reason for the added expense of such a system when this one enables me to produce super sharp and consistent blade sharpness. It is simply the best system for the price. My Smith stones went to Good Will; and the Lansky sits in a drawer until such time as I decide to give it away or sell it. Get a pair of the Spyderco's Ultra-Fine Rods, they are perfect for creating razor-sharp, fine edges.Customer Review: Extremely Easy Knife Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an extremely well designed sharpener. If you have a really bad nick you will most likely need a coarser stone, but if you are looking to put a better than factory edge on your kitchen knives then this is a great tool.
This model has extra slots to put a double bevel on your knife edge. This is probably the best all around edge that you can put on a knife as it is extremely sharp but still durable.
