For more than 23 years we have been passionately researching and developing quality products, which provide consumers with an easy and cost-effective way to obtain a sharp edge. Our dedication starts in the field where our team visits real-world settings to evaluate the needs of the user. From there we apply years of experience and engineering know-how to develop innovative solutions. Underneath is a ceramic sharpener for scissors. This is also the sharpener to use for honing an already sharp knife, pair of shears or pruner. Buying a sharpener for each gardening tool is expensive and inconvenient. Get a sharpener that can sharpen as many tools as possible. At a glance, Smith’s two-step sharpener seems too small and too simple to warrant consideration. Surprisingly, it’s actually quite effective. In less than a minute, we were able to cut a new edge on abused kitchen knives with the carbide side of the sharpener and finish them up on the ceramic side. This made them sharp enough that we could slice through paper, although not perfectly cleanly. Diamond sharpeners consist of a steel (or some other material) base with a thin diamond coating. Diamond sharpeners are great for restoring very dull blade as they take off a lot of material in a short time.

The sharpener is around 11cm long. That’s big enough to fit comfortably in your hand and small enough to sharpen small blades on chisels, small knives and other small tools. Next to the ceramic sharpener is a flat tungsten carbide sharpener for tools such as shears and loppers. Chef’s Choice also thoughtfully includes a third stage designed for stropping, which removes any microscopic bumps or pits on the edge of the blade—this is pretty rare to see on an electric knife sharpener.Another advantage of investing in a diamond stone like the FELCO 903 is its durability. The hardness of diamond means the FELCO sharpener will hardly show any wear even after years of use. On the other side of the handle is a wide angled V sharpener for large tools like axes and hatchets. There’s also an angled carbide sharpener for secateurs and pruners.

The genuine leather surface provides a polished edge for tools that need a razor sharp finish such as knives. The leather strop doubles up as a sheath to protect the diamond stone. A good garden tool sharpener should be versatile in that it can sharpen just about every garden tool you own that needs sharpening from loppers to secateurs and knives to machetes. The 10.4cm handle is comfortable to hold and keeps your hand safely away from sharp edges. What I like about it: Simply stabilize the tool to be sharpened, choose the correct slot for the blade type, and slide the sharpener against the edge. Conversely, when sharpening knives or small tools, set the Sharpal on a flat dry surface and pull your tool through the slot a few times for a sharper new edge. Beginning with the first 6-In-1 Knife Sharpener & Survival Tool, and progressing to the ALL-In-1 Knife, Pruner, Axe & Tools Sharpener, Diamond Sharpening Stone, Electric Knife Sharpener and more, Sharpal products continue to grow in popularity throughout the world.

Innovation is the core competitiveness of Sharpal.

When was the last time you sharpened your mower blade? If you don’t have a grinder, files or the time and skill to do it right, you might need some help. The Sharpal Knife Sharpener is a handy tool designed to sharpen dull blades in a flash. Sharpal® Inc. is a leading brand of professional and patented multifunction knife and tool sharpeners for the outdoor and sports, garden and workshop, and culinary and kitchen industries. The knife needed more force to break the tomato’s skin, but once it did, it sliced through the fruit cleanly. By comparison, the knife required ten times as many strokes on one of the sharpening stones we tested before it was usable. Credit the Trizor’s diamond abrasives, which shave the metal easily, and its acute sharpening angle. Garden tool sharpeners with a soft contoured grip are the most comfortable to use. You can sharpen multiple tools without getting tired.
