The Warthog knife sharpener is a type of sharpener that originated in South Africa, but is now available in the United States and other parts of the world. The company name is derived from the name of a wild animal with sharp fangs. The company manufactures all kinds of knives, from kitchen knives, hunting knives, pocket knives, and many other blades. The great thing about Warthog is that they offer complete knife sets and kits along with sharpeners designed for their blades. The company has a good reputation and a lot of experience with the products it manufactures.
In addition, the Warthog knife sharpener is a versatile sharpener that can also be used for sharpening scissors, chisels and flat blades. Unlike other sharpeners, the Warthog offers a fixed oil stone, so there is no need to use a stone or rod on the blade. Also, this knife sharpener has a lot to offer, so users can easily find one that suits their needs. You can choose between 17 and 35 degrees and it also offers a 5-step setting that you can use for your knives. On the other hand, you can also use 60 to 90 degrees for your scissors.
Also, this knife sharpener is very powerful in such a way that it can damage the blade when using the wrong setting. That is why you need to make sure you are using the correct setting appropriate for your blade. You can expect a very sharp blade if you use the 17 degree angle setting. However, the 17-degree angle is ideal for use with soft objects, while the 25-degree angle is for harder objects that require both sharpness and strength.
Aside from the sharpener, the Warthog sets and kits are made in wooden cases and canvas bags. Also, the wooden boxes are made of Rhodesian teak, rosewood and jacaranda. The sets and kits make a perfect gift for knife lovers and the kits include double-grain oil stone secured in a wooden base. In the same way, the blade is fixed through the adjustable vertical and horizontal rod. The kit also includes sharpening oil that you can use when sharpening your knife.
Additionally, Warthog offers several knife sharpener options such as the V-Sharpened Knife Sharpener which is available in black and chrome. It is a precision freehand sharpener that can sharpen the knife at the same angle. This sharpening tool is ideal for housewives, chefs, and butchers. Similarly, you can also use the serrated edge tool, finishing steels, multi-sharp hunter, multi-sharp prestige, and multi-sharp elite. On the other hand, whichever option you choose, you need to make sure to remove the burrs after sharpening so that the blade is not damaged. Also, before using the Warthog knife sharpener you should read the manual first so that you learn the basic steps to sharpen the blades. The manual also includes cleaning tips so you can look forward to a long-term kit that will serve you longer.
