Tri-Angle Sharpmaker – Knife Sharpener – Medium/Fine Ceramic Rods – 204MF
The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker is a proven manual sharpening system built for clean, repeatable angles without turning sharpening into a full-blown philosophy class. Its durable ABS base uses keyed holes to hold the ceramic rods at preset 30-degree or 40-degree included angles, helping users sharpen knives consistently without relying on freehand guesswork.
This kit includes medium-grit brown ceramic rods for more aggressive sharpening, fine white ceramic rods for finishing, and brass hand guards for added safety during use. It is simple, portable, and practical — a real working sharpener, not a bench-top decoration pretending to be useful.
What It Does
The Tri-Angle Sharpmaker gives you a guided-angle ceramic rod system for sharpening plain edges, serrations, and pointed tools like fishhooks, darts, and awls. The triangular rod shape lets you use the flat sides for plain edges and the corners for serrations, making it more versatile than a basic flat stone setup.
Why It’s Worth It
The Sharpmaker has earned its reputation because it is simple, effective, and easy to actually use. It helps remove some of the angle confusion that scares people away from sharpening their own knives. It is compact enough for a drawer, range bag, shop bench, or gear kit, and the system can be expanded later with accessory rods such as diamond, CBN, or ultra-fine stones.

Tools Needed
No extra tools are required. Use the sharpener, the blade or tool being sharpened, and a little patience. Wild concept, but it works.
Use Notes
Set the rods in the base at the angle needed for your edge, then use light, controlled passes. For badly neglected edges or harder steels, accessory diamond or CBN rods can speed up material removal before finishing with the ceramic rods included in this kit.
Verify Before You Buy

- This is not a freehand bench stone kit.
- Accessory rods such as diamond, CBN, and ultra-fine stones are not included unless separately stated.
