Product Description

The Vexit by Sharp Side

            This knife sharpener is based off of a long-used technique to sharpen knives with a convex edge. This technique involves placing a piece of sandpaper over mouse pad like material. As the knife is moved over the sandpaper the mouse pad dips inward creating a convex edge. A convex edge may be put on any blade or grind using this method.

            The base of the sharpener is a 9”x 2 ¾”x 1/3” piece of black plexiglass. This provides the sharpener with a very ridged and flat base. The 2 ¾” width allows the user to get exactly 4 strips of sand paper out of a standard 9”x 11” sheet. Then a 7 ¾”x 2 ¾”x ¼” piece of closed-cell neoprene is bonded to the center of the base, leaving a little over ½” of the base uncovered at each end. The neoprene material is water and oil resistant so that the user may use oil or water while sharpening. A piece of “provided” 9”x 2 ¾” sandpaper is placed over the neoprene and is secured to each end by the “provided” binder clips. The sandpaper may be secured over the neoprene to produce a convex edge or to the back of the base to produce a flat edge. A strip of vegetable tanned leather is also included and can be attached to the back of the base for stropping.

            The kit includes one base with attached neoprene material, 2 strips of 120 grit, 2 strips of 320 grit, 2 strips of 800 grit and 2 strips of 2500 grit sand paper along with the leather strop and 2 binder clips.  The binder clips can be used to secure the sandpaper and leather strop to the base to keep the entire kit together while being stored. First to buy on aapk gets 1/2 off. All I ask in return is honest feedback.
