Do not be fooled by cheap imitations. The Block family is the original creator of this iconic style of handheld knife sharpener. Proudly manufactured in Somerset, Kentucky, our tools are precision-engineered to deliver professional-grade results with minimal effort. Whether you are a professional chef, a home cook, or an outdoor enthusiast, this high-visibility tool keeps your finest edges razor-sharp.
Unlike traditional rigid pull-through sharpeners, our unique patented flex-design handle allows the internal honing rods to dynamically adjust to your blade’s specific cutting edge. As you draw your blade through the rods, they automatically align to track your knife’s exact bevel. This flexible design effortlessly sharpens standard V-edges (from 17 to 28 degrees), convex edges, double bevels, compound edges, chisel grinds, and hollow grinds.
One compact, portable tool handles your entire collection of cutting edges. It restores and hones:
-
- Kitchen Cutlery: Everyday paring knives, professional chef knives, and heavy meat cleavers.
- Serrated Blades: Safely hones classic scalloped or square-toothed edges (including bread and steak knives) without stripping individual teeth.
- Outdoor & Hunting Gear: Pocketknives, survival blades, axes, hatchets, daggers, and machetes.
- Gardening & Specialty Tools: Household scissors, shears, pruners, clippers, farm sickles, and odd-shaped blades like hawk bills or traditional ULU knives.
Safety is our top priority. This model features a high-strength core equipped with our newly patented non-slip rubber overshot grip on both the top and bottom sides of the handle.
-
- Dual-Sided Traction: The prominent red ring base stops the sharpener from sliding on slick kitchen countertops or wet surfaces.
- Patented Thumb Grip & Guard: An ergonomic, textured thumb rest offers absolute control during freehand sharpening when a flat tabletop isn’t availableโmaking it the perfect gift idea for outdoorsmen working in the woods or at a campsite.
We use premium, heat-treated sharpening rods that are harder than standard knife steels, ensuring they realign and hone the edge without ripping or peeling the metal. No messy oils or water are requiredโsimply wipe down the rods with a dry cloth after use to clean away metal dust. We back our American craftsmanship with a lifetime guarantee against factory imperfections.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย See how we do it video.

Best knife sharpener by far but there is a secret to using it.
I just got this sharpener today. I have sharpened at least a dozen knives with no real problem. Some of the kitchen knives that belong to my mother and probably have never been sharpened were a problem. Sharpening the straight edge was easy the curved section of the blade that contacts the cutting surface was the most dull. I could feel the sharpened edge kept moving around the curve, so it was sharpening the edge but taking a lot of time, so I used a Smiths electric sharpener to re-profile that portion of the blade then I worked the edge, and it sharpened out easily. I have used it on kitchen and camping knives so far. Now the secret and it isn’t really a secret since it is mentioned in a company video. You must put a bit of oil on it where it contacts the edge being sharpened. I put a drop of oil on it between knives I am sharpening. I will always have one of these sharpeners with me. It is the easiest way to sharpener any knife. I did use it on several serrated steak knives, and it sharpened them easily.
