Thread: The best knife sharpener by far!

I bought a system off a guy at the Sika show last year called scary sharp ... and they bloody are ...

I was always a bit of a sharp freak, but this system is fcukin INSANE ... and the dude who runs it has the best customer service I've seen in AGES

He also makes these polished stainless steels which are fantastic ...

Scary Sharp - Constant Angle Sharpening System

You are so right about cs.Have to get the new model sometime.

I have one of the original scary sharps for sale if anyone is interested. Comes with two stones and holders and the extra angle adjustment block for final honing. As new. Only used 4-5 times. $300 plus freight or pick up South Auckland or Onehunga. Only reason for sale is that I forced my self to learn to sharpen free hand so don't use it now.

www.scareysharp.co.nz. Geoff is an old mate. Has a different view point than most folks. Biggest walk in gun safe I ve ever been. And the collection is out of it. He is a hard case for sure . Exporting these now !! @Spook pop in and try one with a bunch of knives some time

I was thinking about trying to sell my scary sharp too, and put the value towards upgrading my hunting rifle instead.

It swivels the knife 180 by just pulling the the clamp out and turning.
A 2 second job compared to unbolting and flipping over.
I had to borrow it back as all my knives need dealing to!

Just picked up one of these. Bought the main body here and got the handle from Aussie. Very good service from the company.

295Aussie$. Just got a manual. Very nice service from the lady at the company. Interesting comments about their mix and stone revamping.

Ive got a lansky system that works similar way but is minute by comparison,the stones are maybe 15mm wide by 80mm long......

I have a scary sharp, got a custom clamp as well to do small blades, great customer service and a kiwi product is a bonus, only limiting factors are the that there are only three angles (although you probably only need two unless you are super fussy) and the act that even the translucent Arkansas stone goes to about 1400 grit, which is still a tad tooth for me. Mind you it’s damn quick to get a very workable edge...oh and it makes a huge mess, need to use it in the shed and it’s not exactly portable.

Today my new wicked edge is ready to be picked up, hoping to be able to put insanely sharp polished edges on my knives now, and scissors too, once I get the hang of it I will be doing a comparative review...

If it works out I am looking at doing a sharpening service, as well as a knife repair one.

Who are you getting the wicked edge thru?
I like the look of them. Especially the clamp.
I have a lansky and can get a couple of my knives sharp but others are a waste of time due to the flimsy clamp.

Paul Davis, has site called bladenz.
The prices are high, but last time I got stuff through customs I got hit pretty hard, so I just paid what he asked.
Just unwrapping now, not disappointed.
