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.

 The best sharpener I have ever used!!! September 1, 2010
Trevor Smith
Stop reading my review and buy this thing. I have used almost every sharpening tool out there, and this is by far the best I have used period. If you can't get a knife sharp with this bad boy just stop trying to sharpen knives because you have a sharpening disability.
easy to use for beginner or advanced. September 1, 2010
Lawrence B Marks
I have used many different knife sharpeners (different stones, counter top models, carbide and ceramic) Each has advantages, generally if you save too much on time and doing it right it is at the expense of a poor job and grinding down a lot of the blade. This system sharpens very well, without removing much material and does not take long to learn to use, pop in the video and watch while sitting on the couch. A few minutes later and you will find your blade is significantly sharper. This system is definitely worth the price and I would recommend it to friends and family.
 Sharp but not razor sharp August 24, 2010
Rick C (Carlsbad, CA)
I like this product, but don't love this product. I tried another sharpener before the SpyderCo. This sharpener damage the blade (took chunks out) and the knifes needed lots of work. Possibly even a pro for the first run. Sharpened 4 Henkels knives with SpyderCo. One is real sharp (not razor sharp and I did all 4 passes) and three others are sharp, but not as sharp as the video that comes with the kit.
Overall, kit is good, compact. Video is good. Knives are definitely sharper, but not as sharp as what I thought I was going to get. For this reason I give this a 4, but very much could be operator error on my part.
Best bet for truly sharp knives! August 3, 2010

I've used benchstones. I've used clamp systems. Both will get the job done. However... I've sharpened every knife I own now with this little puppy and I'm here to tell you, this is money well spent! Yes, you have to work a little if the knife you're sharpening is quite dull. Guess what? You have to do the same with benchstones and clamp systems. SHOCK!!
I don't think it's possible to get a truly sharp (that is, literally sharper than a razor) edtge on a dull knife without working a bit. Let's face it, you're removing steel to shapen anything, and if you've got a lot of steel to remove it's going to take a bit of work to do it.
That said, this has got to be the easiest sharpening system to work with I've ever tried, and I think I've tried them all. Absolutely foolproof IF you follow the instructions AND watch what you're doing. As long as you attend to those two things, the results will amaze you. The feature of having two angles available is great, and I've yet to encounter a blade that couldn't be finely sharpened with one or the other of them. I've since ordered the "ultrafine" stones for the Sharpmaker, and WOW, are they worth the money! Puts that last bit of truly "scary sharp" on your blade.
All-in-all, I don't see myself using any of my other systems any more. This thing is just that good. Admittedly, it's not too great for really, really LOOOONG blades, but turn it over and use the bench feature on the bottom and it works fine there, too. Whaddaya want for your fifty bucks, perfection? Well, that's just about what you get!
It does the job July 31, 2010

After watching the very informative video guide, I was able to start using the product. It did a great job sharpening my knives and scissors. The only thing I could not get it to sharpen was my cigar cutter.
