I have several knife sharpening kits for sale.
The first is a Spyderco SharpMaker. This is a complete kit including the Spyderco diamond rods, the manual and the DVD. It's well used but has plenty of life left. One of the white ceramic rods has a small nick along one edge and one of the brown ceramic rods has a small nick on one end. The nick at the end of the brown one doesn't affect anything other than aesthetics. The nick in the white one can be felt when you run a knife across it, but it's never seemed to make any difference to me in use. My knives sharpened on it still get very sharp. I emailed Spyderco about it back when I bought it some years back (they both came this way) but they never replied so I just didn't worry about it. I'd like $65 PP shipped CONUS.
The next one is an Edge Pro Apex kit I put together. I bought this used several years back from another member and over the years I've added to it. It comes with the original Apex kit minus the original stones because they were junk, other than the 120x coarse, which I still have because I never use it) and I included two brand new, never used (never even opened, didn't realize I had one, ordered another one because, idiot) Edge Pro brand small knife adapters (this allows you to more easily sharpen small knives, those with blades less than 2", thin or shorter blades, etc.), a Harbor Freight 4-1 screwdriver, several replacement parts (springs, drill stop collar, original parts, etc.), a large, coarse diamond stone to true the sharpening stones (works much better than the Edge Pro system IMO), 2 packs of polishing tapes (one is 2000 grit, not sure on the other, I just use the 2000 mostly and get a mirror polish in no time), a glass blank for the polishing tapes, an aluminum blank for whatever (I never used it, I guess it's for the tapes also) and five sharpening stones. The stones are four Shapton glass stones in 1k, 2k 4k and 8k, and, as mentioned above, the 120x coarse stone which came with the kit. There's been some confusion on s&h costs, etc., and in light of that, to make things easier (and because this kit weighs five pounds and USPS likes to rape us on stuff that doesn't fit in flate rate boxes), I will take $175 plus 3% if PP, SHIPPED anywhere in the continental United States. I can send more detailed pics if needed. I brought it to the office today. SOLD
This kit will re-profile any knife, any size, any steel, easily. The Shapton stones put a murderously sharp edge on them and if you do it right, they are like mirrors when you are done. I have a Spyderco Manix 2 in 154CM and it's so sharp I'm scared to use it for fear of hurting myself.
I've also got one of the original Work Sharp WSKTS with replacement belt kit. It also comes with all original accessories and attachments and a couple of extra belts in all three grits. I will also include a leather strop belt and buffing compound. This is a well used tool and it's served me well. It's dirty and shows use, but it works perfectly. I'd like $65 PP shipped CONUS for this one. SOLD
Apparently I can't embed URL links to pictures in Google Photos (why??) so let me know if you want to see a pic of any of these. I have some generic pics of the first two, but can get more of all three probably tomorrow night if you need them.
