ViperSharp V2 Sharpening System with Strop

Whether you want a keen edge on your set of kitchen knives or you want to keep your everyday folder as sharp as can be, the ViperSharp Blade Sharpening System makes it easy to do so. Created as a solution to many common problems found in other guided knife sharpeners on the market, this system is designed to give you the perfect angle—time and time again—without having to go through a series of rigorous adjustments every time. Included with the kit is a base, six sharpening elements (up to 1200 grit), mounting hardware, and a guide rod with a rubber stopper to help you achieve the correct angle for any type of cutlery. Based on community feedback, this latest version now includes a 1200-grit ceramic stone for finishing and a leather strop attachment for polishing.

To use the ViperSharp system, mount the base on a workbench or simply clamp it to a table, then attach your blade facing outwards in the grips. Adjust the height of the clamp to your desired angle (20 - 22 degrees works for most knives) and choose your stone. The set has six different stones, including ceramic and Arkansas stones, for everything from reprofiling an edge to polishing it off. Each stone easily swaps out and keeps your fingers protected from the blade, too. After selecting a stone, hold it firmly and guide it across the blade’s edge repeatedly. Then flip the knife over and repeat the process. All components come in a neatly packaged, padded case for convenient transport and storage.
