The Edge Experts since 1886, Smith's Edge has been providing exceptional sharpening instruments to hunters and gourmet cooks alike.

Smith's Counter Safe Deluxe Knife and Scissors Sharpener
As far as manual knife sharpeners go, this state-of-the-art kitchen tool not only sharpens straight and serrated knives, but also right and left-handed scissors! Its carbide blades and ceramic stones make for perfectly sharpened and honed knives and scissors that are razor sharp and ready to cut through any slab of meat! It also comes with a counter guard which is a smart feature to help protect the counter tops from damage. At $17.98, this is one of Smith's Edge's best manual knife and scissors sharpener in this price range. Highly recommended!
Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod
Smith's 9" Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod can do anything a traditional rod can do only better. The hand guard and non-slip tip are nice touches, making this sharpening rod safer to use than most on the market today. The retail price of $14.98 is very reasonable for a quality honing rod like this.
Ceramic Pull-Thru Knife Sharpener
Smith's Edge is known for their easy-to-use comfortable handles and non-slip rubber feet, and this sharpener lives up to its promise. It is so easy to use! The handle is ergonomically designed making it fit like a glove. The Ceramic Pull-Thru Knife Sharpener sharpens both serrated bread knives and straight edge professional chef's knives with fine and extra fine sharpness. $12.98 is a small price to pay for a sharpener of this quality.
Smith's Edge Grip 2-Stage Knife Sharpener
This lightweight sharpener is small and cute, but definitely up to the task. It has Smith's famous rubber non-slip feet and a V-Grip bottom to help secure it to the counter, and a comfy handle for easy sharpening. Considering it has carbide blades and ceramic rods, at just $5.98, it's one of the least expensive sharpeners on the market. Buy two and give one away!

Smith's Edge's tag line, "Be an Edge Expert" has been serving them well since 1886. Their website is easy to navigate with an enormous amount of information and photos.

The Downside?
Smith's Edge has the market covered when it comes to their knife sharpeners. They don't however, sell knives or suggest which knives to use. Perhaps in the future they'll see the need to perfect their line by offering high quality chef knives, French knives and serrated bread knives that complement their sharpeners.
