Retired

The Guided Sharpening System is our complete benchtop sharpening and honing system. It was created with both novice and master sharpeners in mind and can be used to sharpen every knife you own.

The innovative Pivot-Response® system follows the curve of the blade while sharpening, putting a sharp edge along the entire length of the blade. The skill is built into the tool, so it makes sharpening fun and easy to learn thanks to 17° & 20° Angle Guides. The angle guided hone can be used separately and taken with you out into the field so you can maintain your edges away from your benchtop.

Use the Guided Sharpening System to put a perfect edge on your pocket, hunting, and kitchen knives – as well as serrations, fish hooks, and tools – while mastering your manual sharpening skills.

Experienced sharpeners will appreciate the thought-out features that make this a versatile and complete knife and tool sharpening system.

- 17° and 20° Angle Guides

- 320 Coarse and 600 Fine diamond plates

- Packable, 2 grit ceramic hone

    Have t used uet

    Honestly when buying this I thought I was going to be able to get more accessories with it I didn't realize it was retired and is going to be impossible to get any thing but maybe a stone to use on it that I can replace. Not realizing I won't be able to replace the ceric rod or get any up grade kits in the end it was a waste of money because I'll use it and have to throw it out when I can get replacement parts. Should have saved the money and bought something that I can actually get parts for. And it sucks because Ive spent a lot of money on sharpeners. And like this it's a way to weed things out to bring in something new that does the same thing except they will be able to charge more money for and make more money because everything with the new sharpener will be sold as an accessory to make more money off sales instead of being included. And it sucks it's like this because people like me don't have a lot of money and we buy the best to last and it sucks when crap like this happens because we don't save money in the end we end up wasting it. So not to happy about the purchase for those reasons but in general awesome sharpener just doesn't make sense to retire what works and what's simple and what's easy for people to use to get the best blade possible.

    The guided sharpener is easily 4 star unit for the price that should be 5 star with minor updates/ addons. I am a knifemaker and have used this to set /make new edges on various hard stainless and tool steels for the past few years and it sees much more use than the average home user is likely to put it through. I got both the extra coarse and extra fine stones as the 220 extra coarse really does take off a lot of material to help establish new edges or for home use repair damaged edges. The extra fine topping out at 800 grit which realistically for sharpening is still a rough medium level stone does fairly well to finish with reasonable working edges coupled with finishing stropping. The 800 grit is by no means a very fine edge and is one of the flaws, there should be diamond stones that go over 1k grit, jumping to something like a 1200-1500 grit would likely be enough, still medium sharpening grit but much more refined edge than anything sub 1k grit. Many modern steels have high hardness and large amounts of carbides that can be both sharpened at high grit and maintain quality sharpness for long periods of time, finer grit edge doesn't always mean longer edge holding but would be good to have the option. The other option that seems like it should be possible would be making highest grit ceramic plate like they have on the newer Bench tri stone. I have used the Benchstone and I would also call that a solid 4 star unit for moderate home use but it definitely is built cheaper…

    At last I can sharpen my pocket knives without the risk of ugly marks or incorect angles so glad I found your product at my local military surplus store here in the UK

    Great sharpening system and the pivot thinghy is just great and makes the sharpening job easier. The only thing I've not seen mentioned anywhere here on the website is that the ceramic rod has a fixed 25 angle guide and I believe it would have been better for it to just use the interchangeable angle guides. I still can sharpen at a 17 angle on the ceramic rod, but it would have been easier if the 25 angle guide would not be in the way. Other than this, all is perfect with this system. Oh, and the upgrade kit is a must!!

    This kit is a superb product. Even BETTER with the upgrade kit adding an extra corse and extra fine steel. Very versitle. Way superior to the BENCHSTONE KNIFE SHARPENER™ WITH TRI-BRASIVE AND PIVOT-RESPONSE. I have both kits by the way. Going to buy the Ceraminc plate and use it on this kit.
