Warthog Knife Sharpener

Knife sharpeners we know under the name "Warthog" are made in South Africa. Yes, that's right. We do not only get ivory to make knives from there, they are delivering complete sets and kits for knives and knife sharpener is one of their products. It's a company with a long tradition and their products are known across the world. Warthog knife sharpener promises good service to kitchen knives, hunting knives and most other flat-blade knives.

Warthog multi-purpose knife sharpener got the name from an animal whose tusks are always sharp and ready to be used with great results in any occasion. Multi-purpose means that you can use Warthog knife sharpener on scissors, plane blades and chisels. Unlike many other knife sharpening systems where you have to draw a rod or stone over the blade, Warthog has fixed oilstone over which you draw the blade.

Whichever angle you need, Warthog has it. You can choose from 17 to 35 degrees in five steps to sharpen your knives or chisels. There is an option to go from 60 to 90 degrees for your scissors sharpening. Be aware that Warthog knife sharpener is very powerful, and using 17 degree angle is a very delicate thing to do. The edge will be very sharp but you should use it only on knives that are cutting soft objects. For a knife that needs more power, cuts harder objects that is, use a 25 degree angle. Hunting knives can be sharpened that way so they can deliver the blow but stay in one piece.

Warthog knife sharpener kits are supplied in canvas-type pouches and sometimes in wooden cases. Wooden cases are optional and they come in rosewood, jacaranda or Rhodesian teak. The sharpening kits come with double grit oilstone which is secured on a wooden base, an adjustable horizontal and vertical rods to guide the blade, a clamp with angle selector and a clamp for chisel. There will be one bottle of honing oil so you can start using Warthog knife sharpener immediately.

Some other options are diamond honing stones along with the stones for serrated blades and a leather strops with special compound. They are used to remove the burrs when you finished using knife sharpener. You will end up with a razor-edge knife after you clean all from the blade.
