Product Description
The 204MF includes one pair medium-grit (brown) triangle stones for aggressive sharpening and one pair of fine-grit (white) triangle stones for professional-grade finishing. Their patented triangular shape sharpens plain edges on the flat sides and spyderedges (serrations) on the corners. A groove running the stone's length sharpens pointed items such as fishhooks, darts, awls, and punches. Keyed slots/holes in the abs plastic base precisely preset the stone's sharpening angle to a 30° (15° each side) or 40° (20° each side) for thick and thin profiled knife blades. On the end of the base is a 12.5° scissor setting. When turned over, the base's underside accommodates two side-by-side stones (flat side up) for benchstone sharpening. Plastic lid snaps halfway over the base creates a stable hand-hold and a pair of brass safety rods protect the user's hands during sharpening. All of the components fit into the base and the lid snaps on as a cover for portability, or the base can be bolted to a table or counter-top for permanent use. Instructional 204MF DVD and booklet is included.

 Fantastic products! Much simpler than stone! November 16, 2009

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to sharpen their kitchen/pocket knives.
Spyderco Sharpmaker is not really any different than regular sharpening stones. It simply takes a small stone and places it in a way that it maintains a proper angle for edge refinement. I never managed to get knives shaving sharp using japanese whetstones, and that's because I am unable to keep perfect 15 or 20 degree angle of blade to stone by hand. Sharpmaker takes care of that! All you need to do is make sure that you keep the blade vertical as you slide it over the stones. This keeps the angle consistent and assures perfect edge. Furthermore, alternating sides with each stroke assures even sharpening and reduces the burr to minimum.
If you're like me and want a shaving sharp edge on your knives, but cannot achieve that using regular flat stone, then get a sharpmaker! You won't regret it! And for "scary sharp" edge also get a pair of ultrafine stones (204UF) - they can get the edge honed so well you'll be literally afraid of it!
Easy to Learn November 13, 2009

To see the plain knife instructions from the video search for this on YouTube: VWL1UsppIeA I saw warnings about the long complicated instructions for this "sharpening system" that made me leery and I'm very comfortable reading instructions. But don't worry about the learning curve. The length of the instructions is due to the fact that you can sharpen anything with this including nail clippers and potato peelers. For a plain edge knife it's two pages, most of which is pictures. It's a fantastic tool. The video is fabulous but you don't need to watch it to use the sharpener. The entrepreneur behind this gadget is a great teacher. He starts with how our prehistoric ancestors sharpened stone tools. Any cook who knows how to chop should own this - it's as simple slicing an onion - and for anyone into tools you are going to love this thing.

If you don't have the expertise to sharpen on a whetstone, this is the only other system that will get your edge razor sharp without a lot of hassle.
 Not For Dull Blades October 16, 2009

It's very easy to use but not very effective on dull knives. You need the diamond rods to reshape a dull blade so that the supplied rods can be effective. Good on fairly sharp blades.
Great, Simple, and Easy Sharpener October 7, 2009

My .02, I have nil experience sharpening knives and had a dull Schrade LB7 from thirty years ago. I used the Sharpmaker on it and it shaves hair off my arm. I also purchased the ultra fine ceramic rods and makes it even sharper than the fine ceramic rods do.
My mistake at first was going to fast and sloppy. I have much better results going very slow with good form and enough pressure without slipping or breaking the sharpener.
Quite amazed and happy with this device!
Thanks Spyderco!
