The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker...Should You Buy One? Watch This First.

A look and review at The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker with some tips and tricks to get the most out of the sharpener. Also if your in the market for one have a watch I hope it will answer you questions. Also please forgive the break in the video when someone calls my phone the video shuts off and please forgive my lack of remembering where I was in my discussion. It really was a long phone call.

I use this and it's amazing for my EDC knives!!! I have 2 more Ultra Fine rods as well....they make a big difference!!!

Sharpening on the corners of the stone seems like it would round the tip?

According to spyderco the medium rods are roughly 600 grit the fine is between 1200-1500 grit the ultra fine is roughly 2000-2500 grit....that's why you need the diamond rods or the cbn are also several other aftermarket rods in very course grits on the market. Any triangle rod with a 1/2" flat will fit.
For touch ups this system works great, for a full blown reprofile even with the diamond or cbn rods it's very time consuming but can be done.
Another cost effective alternative is the work sharp Ken onion angle set system....works on the same concept but comes with a 320 and 600 grit diamond plates as well as a fine ceramic that I'm guessing to be around 1200 grit or so.
And it's also significantly less expensive.

On the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker, will I harm my Wusthof knives that have a 14deg. angle blade (28deg) if I use the 30deg side of the sharpener?

Do you think this would be a good system to keep in a bug out bag, to keep a working edge on your main survival knife? If so, what would be the best rods that would pack into the case, no more, to use.
