Russells For Men

This is a sharpening idea that I have encouraged someone to produce for over a decade. What a simple and handy little sharpener. The same size and just slightly thicker than a credit card, it easily fits in your pocket or your wallet.

These are the finest Diamond sharpeners that I have ever seen. The base is the most valuable piece of lightweight plastic I have seen in many years. The cost is tiny but the utility is enormous. I consider this base so IMPORTANT that I will provide one free of cost to any of you who order one or more of the 8" or 10" "stones" listed below. Every base accepts both sizes so you only need one, even if you are using both the 8" and the 10" sharpeners.

When something portable is required we have the Gerber diamond knife sharpener.

Based on the work of inventor Louis Graves, here is a compact sharpener that will do it all. Two diamond rods for establishing a new bevel and/or thinning a dull blade. Two ceramic rods of very high alumina content to put that razor sharp finished edge on the blade.

This page offers the base only for the 8" and 10" stones.

The Diamond-Ceramic Triangle Sharpener features a 25 micron 600 mesh Diamond Flexi-Sharp® surface on one side of the triangle and a ceramic surface on the other two sides. This sharpener also has 3 different radii of sharpening edges (the corners) and a groove for fishhooks. It adapts to virtually any sharpening task presented by woodworking gouges, serrated knives or shaped tools. Overall length 10-1/2".

I have always admired the triangular rods of Sal's Sharpmaker but did not like the wide angle he used. I see that he now incorporates the 30° angle that I like so well as his basic angle and still includes the 40° angle that used for the edge on thicker blades or to add a micro-bevel to a properly sharpened edge.
