undefined review of TSProf Kadet PRO [BLACK] Knife Sharpener (2024) image 1 out of 1

Robert E.Verified

Sharpener is great! I would have given five stars except the extra rod included in the black version is not round and it sticks severely in the ball pivot joint. After using it you can clearly see lines running length wise where it just makes contact in symmetrical points around the circumference of the rod. I don’t know if it will wear in or prematurely wear out the heim joint.

The 6” Multi Upgrade has worked well for me. So far I have used the kit on just 3 knives and it worked great on all 3. These were smaller bladed knives, the smallest being a Buck Cadet, and it was the first time I was able to to sharpen them on the Work Sharp Precision Adjust. For reference, the sharpened edge of the main blade of the little Buck is about 2” long by 1/16” thick by 7/16 wide. I am still using the original Precision Adjust stones, but I am am shopping for some 6” diamond stones....

Fit right on the shaft and was very smooth. Holes were lined up perfectly and didn’t have any friction. Held the 4” stones perfectly and might hold my 6” stones but I didn’t try it with those stones. Very pleased, made me pull out my Work Sharp sharpening system and sharpen a few knives. I recommend it through Gritomatic.

I purchased four of these in different grits. So far, they are working well. I once took woodcarving lessons from a Swiss master carver and he used Ruby stones exclusively to sharpen his gouges. They were always razor sharp.

Bought this for a Christmas present so I really can't tell you anything about it. We have friend who purchased a different one from you and we tried his out and my husband loved it. Hopefully he will be surprised at Christmas and will love it.

Crazy shipping experience unrelated to gritomatic because it was handled by USPS. The magnetic table works great on several smaller, narrow blades knives I own so I can highly recommend it.

I am completely shocked at how much polish an 80 grit stone can leave. A 600 grit ATOMA has more scratches. This stone is aggressive enough for reprofiling but gentle enough that you won’t spend 90 minutes removing gouges. Really worth the money if you are chasing beautiful edges.

The Axicube One Sharpening Angle Finder (Rev 2) completes my Kadet Pro sharpening system. I will order more accessories, but the Axicube One makes knife sharpening a breeze when it comes to finding the correct angle throughout the sharpening process. A quality built accessory worth the price paid. Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to actually use these stones just yet because as a Christmas present for me from my wife, she says they have to be wrapped and put under the tree until Christmas. I did however get 'permission' to handle & hold them and their quality is very apparent... Can't wait to sharpen our kitchen knives with these!

Customer service has been great; an additional benefit, is dealing with a company based here in Georgia! Shipping was prompt, and package was well packaged. The Dragon series Venev diamond plat, 7/5 and 3/2 (800/1200) combo is preforming beautifully, on every higher-end steel that I pass over it (15v, S110V, MagnaCut, and Maxamet thus far) I can’t wait to pickup lower grits, once they come back in stock! Thanks again!

Haven’t used them yet, but I’ve been impressed with the ceramic rods in the Spyderco Sharpmaker. They do a superb job, including super steels like M390 & D2. For routine sharpening I expect these 3 stones will be my go to stones in my Tsprof Kadet. The stones and mounting planks are beautiful. Shipping was perfect, including packaging speed in shipping.

I have been a professional knife sharpener for 15 years. I use an EdgePro Pro sharpener and run the whole gamut of grits, including the EP diamond matrix 4,000 grit. This stone produces a terrific edge and I didn't think any stone could be any better until I tried the Suehiro Gokumyo 20K. Maybe polishing tape could be an equal but why bother. I don't use the Suehiro Gokumyo on every household knife, just special higher end knives. What a treat. I clean it with an Idahone eraser and alcohol and a...

The stones themselves are great, my order came in good shape. I live in canada, and the issue that I had was that when the package was delivered, I was hit with a $96 Duty charge from the cbsa. Very frustrating, as the tax was over 50% of the total cost of the items that I purchased! $55 of that charge was for my little angle finder that was in the package as it was an electronic item! The tax was over three times the cost of the object itself! Very frustrating. As a result, I unfortunately will...

Great little adaptor for dialing in your angle. Easy to move with the finger knob and then just turn the barrel body for precision. My only complaint is that mine turns itself back down the threads with the vibrations of sharpening, but by then your pivot should be locked into position so I suppose you don't really need it anymore until you change stones. I'll probably put a little Vibra-tite on the threads to make them "sticky". Should fix the problem.

Pretty good though it seems to dry a little faster than water. It does seem to help keep stones from loading as much and I feel like I cut faster using it, though that could be a factor of the dish soap I was to my water adding lubrication that reduces the grit's bite with my usual practice. All in all I like it but I'd have to change the way I lubricate my stones while sharpening or I'd run through this stuff way too fast. I've experimented with mixing it at around a two to one ratio with water...

Jason U.Verified

The price is low enough that I justified adding it to my order for a few pair of small scissors I use for other hobbies and my wife's gazillion pair she has a grade school teacher. It was pretty awkward the first time I used it because I've never sharpened scissors, but after getting used to the non-knife-like angle and holding the module to stop the chattering that happens at scissor sharpening angles, it's pretty straight forward. Just remember to lay the entire non sharpened side flat on the ...

These are great for any 6mm stone holder arm. I bought two so I could have one on both sides of the pivot. Easy to adjust with the knob and the spring really does dampen the bump if your stroke is a little too long or too short. I've seen some cheaper ones from other companies but these are better built and better looking which is worth the couple extra bucks to me. Simple and effective.

Used this stone tonight for the first time. Wow I was impressed for sure. Wanted something to cut fast on the super steels did what I wanted it to do. Has nice feed back . Was a bit pricey for a one inch plate but I think well worth it 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello, I suggest buying the 120,240,400 and maybe 600 low grit Poltava premium METALLIC cbn Stones. Then buy Poltava Expert RESIN cbn Stones fine grits 1100, 1500, 3000/5000 & 5000/10,000/15000 grit Stones for finishing the blades. You will get a better finish with the resin bonded cbn Stones and fast material removal/ reprofiling/repairs and burr forming with the Metallic cbn stones. It better to have a combination of the two types. OR...wait and buy/preorder hybrid bonded cbn Stones. I su...

EXCELLENT SET OF STONES, THEY ARE FLAT WITH NO DEFECTS. I SHARPENED 8 KNIVES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF METALS, 1095 / AUS 8 / 14C28N, & SOME REAL HARD STEEL, THEY ALL PERFOMRED GREAT. THE SCRATCH PATTERN IS REALLY NICE AS U GET UP TO THE FINER STONES, THE COARSE STONES WILL TAKE OFF ALOT OF MATERIAL, IF U ARE NOT CAREFUL!! OVERALL, REALLY HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE!! WILL BUY AGAIN!!!!

Between Stroppy stuff and Gunny Juice microns that I purchased are a game changer I get such good mirror polish super scream sharp edges the color coordinations for my tan strops are perfect to distinguish between my process. Awesome Stuff. I will be back for more stuff and other things for sure. Thank you Gritomatic 💪🤙💯

This is way better than the old bottle of Smith's honing oil I had. Smoother on the stone, need less of it, doesn't smell bad, and doesn't compromise feedback. This is what honing oil should be.

After reading a lot about the Suehiro G8 8000 Stone [6" x 1"] stone from Gritomatic I decided to try one. This stone is very good giving you a polished finish with a mirror shine to it. Once you get it fully wet it is then splash and go. I highly recommend it.

I have had the R2 for a couple years, and loved it. Recently bought the upgrade Rail Height Adjuster and it is a very nice improvement. Rock solid and much easier to adjust the angle instead of the original rod. Nice that it includes an easy to use place to keep the stone holder suspended out of the way that doesn't require moving the lever like the old one. I was constantly forgetting to mover that lever out of the way and subsequently compromising the angle I had set. My bad, not a design...

Superb sharpener Very compact system. An ideal size for a sharpener. The magnetic ball mechanism for the sharpening rod is excellent. The fine adjustment knob is also excellent for dialing in the angle between plates/strops to make sure it's consistent. The ease and speed which you can flip the knife over to the other side is excellent. The little platform to zero the angle finder is helpful. The base could be larger. Still solid for it's compact size. Minimum angle is const...

These are simply the VERY BEST stones for the KME Sharpener. I enjoy KME's diamond stones, however, these cut in a much more precise manner and the feedback they provide is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Not taking anything away from KME's diamond stones...this is just a much more expensive | totally different type of stone. It is monocrystalline and they last forever. If you purchase they ARES set, and YOU DO NOT WANT A MIRROR FINISH, THEN DO NOT GO PAST THE 400 GRIT!

This thing is incredible I should have bought this sooner. If your serious about knife sharpening and own a Tsprof Kadet, this will take your sharpening to the next level,yes it's a little expensive but very high quality like all Tsprof products. Well worth it. You won't regret it.

I've been using this on my firearms the last few months and I have to say I really like it. It really helped to smooth out the action of a few firearms that I've modified and after I had mated the surfaces together and using this as my main lube on those slides it's turned what were semi unreliable firearms to ones that if I had to carry them I would have no worries. After using this for the last 500 rds in those 3 I have had 0 issues. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a high qualit...

Very nice stones that "break-in" quickly and give great feedback. I have the 240/400 and the 800/1200 and they produce a very nice crisp edge with a nice polish. FYI if you are getting shipped into Canada there is a HUGE tariff or duty because they are produced in Russia.

Fantastic system. 0.1 degree variance at most from one side of blade to the other. Rock solid. Turntable makes it super easy to get consistent higher angle on blade tips. Clamps excellent. Guide rod is clean, smooth and consistent. Guide rod is also easy to use and smart design.

Got the set for my new Hapstone R2. Seem great ,good feel and they do not seem to wear just get dirty. I would note the grits in the finer stones are not even close to US or Japan , they are a lot finer, just be sure to check the chart they have so you don't buy other stones you don't need.

This is the fourth guided sharpening system of this type I’ve owned over the past few years. That said, the TSPROF KO3 Pro is without question the best system I have personally owned. Its quality, fit and finish and overall attention to detail is second to none. An example of this is how accurate the system is from side to side. With every knife I’ve sharpened so far I’ve been within a maximum of .2 degrees, most of the time .1 or even dead on from one side to the other. I’ve never owned a syste...

I bought these stones just to see how they'd do and well I'm honestly blown away. I bought a new Magnacut knife with a HRC of 63 and with my diamond stones I was have g an issue getting the tip on the show side of this knife to apex and honestly I gave up. Then bought these stones and in literally 5 mins I got the tip to apex and was able to fix the heel where the diamond stones couldn't hit. I don't if it's because these are new or what but they cut quicker than my diamond stones and I hones...
