1. Sharpening Abrasives

Abrasives are the foundation of any effective knife sharpening kit. We offer an array of options, including belts in various grits and sizes. A progression of low to high of grits is an excellent starting point. This allows you to reshape your blade with the rough grit and finish it with a finer one for a polished edge.

Maintaining the correct sharpening angle is crucial for achieving consistent results. Angle guides can be indispensable tools to assist you in maintaining the proper angle while sharpening. These guides are particularly helpful for beginners as they aid in developing the muscle memory required to keep the right angle.

3. Super Strops

A honing leather is an essential tool for the finishing touches of a sharpening. We provide a variety of belt and wheel sizes to fit most common machines. Along with the final removal of a burr created during sharpening, regular use of a Super Strop between sharpening helps realign the blade's edge, preventing dullness.

      4. Safety Gear
