AccuSharp Pro Knife and Tool Sharpener

The AccuSharp Pro is a 5.5 inch knife and tool sharpener with a brushed aluminum housing, rubberized grip, reversible tungsten carbide blades and a full length safety guard.

Tungsten carbide takes a fast, aggressive bite, which is what makes a pull-through sharpener work in a few strokes rather than a few minutes. The trade is that it removes more steel than a stone or a ceramic rod, so it is a tool for restoring a badly dull edge rather than maintaining a good one.

The carbide blades are reversible, so when one edge dulls they are turned around rather than replaced, which roughly doubles their life. A full length guard keeps fingers clear of the blade being sharpened, which matters on a tool used with a pulling motion toward the hand. Explore more sharpeners.
