Spyder Knife Sharpener, Lansky

Spyder Knife Shar pener Lansky

This model of Lansky’s popular Multi-Sharpener is ideal for the distinctive serrations on Spyderco® knives. Like the Multi-Sharpener, it will sharpen regular as well as serrated blades, and it has a special groove for sharpening fish hooks and other pointed objects. It features non-slip thumb and finger rests and a keychain.

The small edge of the sharpener matches the narrow serrations on Spyderco® blades. The broader corners match the wider Spyderco® serration. The flat surfaces are for sharpening regular blades, and the groove is for fish hooks and other pointed objects.

Instructions

For Sharpening Serrations

1. Grip the sharpener firmly by the Guide Guard on one end using your dominant hand.
2. Holding the knife firmly with the other hand (with the edge facing away from you!) bring the corner of the sharpener to the serration.
3. While maintaining a consistent angle and with even pressure, gently push, while using a rolling motion to sweep the sharpener’s corner from one side of the serration or scallop to the other. A single stroke will remove any burrs on the reverse side of your blade.

For Sharpening a Plain Edge

1. Place the thumb on one Guide Guard and the tip of the second or third finger of the same hand on the other guide guard.
2. Place the blade’s edge against the flat side of the sharpener.  While maintaining a consistent angle and with even pressure gently push the entire edge across the sharpener in a single stroke, much like attempting to slice a thin layer off the side.
3. Stroke 3-5 times and repeat this on the reverse side of the blade.
4. Continue this process until the blade is sharp.

Cleaning Instructions

When the alumina ceramic sharpening rod becomes dark with metal particles from the sharpening process, use the Lansky® EraserBlock® or household cleanser. The alumina ceramic sharpening rod will never wear out.

Be Smart, Be Safe and Stay an Edge Above the Rest!

CAUTION: Knife sharpening is an inherently dangerous activity. Used properly this sharpener cannot hurt you but a carelessly handled blade or pointed object can.
