All Benchstones

Benchstones are the most common way of sharpening a knife. Here at Knife Center, we carry a great variety of benchstones, including the natural Arkansas Stones. We also carry bases to hold your benchstones.

Ceramic Benchstones

While natural benchstones have a certain attraction, artificial ceramic benchstones are both cheaper & more consistent. Because they are manufactured, their color and grit level are easier to control.

Waterstones

Waterstones are naturally occurring sharpening stones from Japan. Because of the unique geology of Japan, these stones are softer than most benchstones, leading to a stone which can, and should, be lubricated with only water.

Diamond Benchstones

Diamonds are famous for being the hardest naturally occurring material on earth. These diamond benchstones, from Diamond Machining Technology and EZE Lap, allow you to use that hardness to sharpen your knives.

Tri-Hone Benchstones

The best edge is achieved by progressively increasing the grit of the stone, moving from course through fine. Tri-hone systems put a course, medium, and fine stone on the same device, allowing you to quickly move through all three stages.

Pocket Sharpeners

Just because you are on the go doesn't mean you have to live with a dull knife. These pocket sharpeners come in the same variety of materials as the larger benchstones, but are sized to fit in your pocket.

Dog-Bone Style Sharpeners

Dog-bone style sharpeners have multiple edges, usually of different angles, making them great for sharpening the serrations on serrated knives. These are also small enough to fit on your key chain.

Handheld Sharpeners

These pocket-sized knife sharpeners are great for putting an edge on your blade fast. They do not require oil, making them good for travel as well. These are totally hand held without guides.

Sharpening Files

These sharpening files are great for garden tools, machetes and axes. Some are for honing your knife, or finishing its edge.

Diamond Knife Sharpeners

Our diamond based knife sharpeners include benchstones & Retractable Pen Style Sharpeners. We carry Diamond Sharpeners from Diamond Machining Technology (DMT), EZE-Lap and Hewlette.

Slicing Edge Sharpening System

Formerly known as Charlie's Wheel of Fortune, this kit includes a grinding wheel & a buffing wheel. Used properly, it quickly puts an edge on your knife. It is easy to over sharpen your knife on this wheel.

Electric Sharpeners

We carry a variety of electric sharpeners, including the Master Grade Professional Knife Sharpener. These sharpeners have the stones on a motor, allowing you to quickly sharpen your knives.

Clamping Systems

Traditional benchstones require a blade be held at an angle by hand as it is sharpened. Clamping systems hold the knife, ensuring a constant angle. This gives the knife a more consistent edge. We also carry the hones for GATCO & Lansky systems.

Ceramic and Diamond Rod Systems

Natural stones only come in so many shapes. Ceramic sharpening tools changed that. These systems use ceramic or diamond rods. We also carry Mini Ceramic Rod systems, which are small enough to fit in your pocket.

Pull Sharpeners

Pull sharpeners take the guesswork out of sharpening knives. No trying to hold the knife at specific angles -- just pull it through the sharpener. Our large selection of Pull Sharpeners include the stylish Messermeister Chantry Sharpeners.

Butcher Steels

Sharpening steels are not typically used for sharpening, but rather are used immediately after to hone the knife, smoothing any imperfections from the sharpening. We carry a variety of sharpening steels, including Diamond Coated Steels.

Razor Strops

Straight edge razors need to be kept sharp to work properly. Strops help you take care of your straight edge razor. They're also used to hone knives. We also have sharpening instructions from DOVO, who manufactures most of our straight razors.

Benchstone Base

These bases help keep your benchstone in place, keeping it steady and making it easier to make a consistant edge.

Honing Oil

Benchstones need oil to properly sharpen.

Note: Japanese waterstones are lubricated just fine with water, and oil can ruin the stones.

Eraser Blocks

Eraser blocks are used to clean ceramic sharpening stones and rods. These can also be used to clean metal tools, removing rust, tarnish, and other surface blemishes, and leaving a satin finish.
