The knife sharpener is one of the most overlooked and undervalued purchases that a knife owner can make. A lousy knife sharpener can destroy a great knife.
We carry different types from different vendors to give you the best choice for your money. Lansky, gerber, DMT, Spyderco and Columbia River are just some of the vendors you will find here when they are available. There are many cheap knife sharpeners that we refuse to carry since they are low quality. These are the ones you can find at your local department store for an inexpensive price. In knife sharpeners like many items, you get what you pay for.
We highly recommend adding a steel to your knife sharpening routine. However, we do not carry any steels on our website since they can usually be purchased locally for $10-$20 from any department store.
