I want to begin by thanking Gene for his professionalism and knowledge that he has shared with me prior to and after the purchase of this fine machine. I have been sharpening for approx 18 yrs. During this time Ive sharpened knives using every technique imaginable. I started out with the oil stones, then wet stones and discovered the ceramic stone sharpening method. All are fine methods. However, as the business grew, I was looking for techniques other than electric sharpening machines to speed up the process with good quality results. I'm not a fan of running a knife blade into an electric sharpener and not being able to view what is happening with the burr. It's just not my style of doing things. I purchased the sharp machine 5 months ago and have paid for it 4 times over what I paid for it. Ive increased my business with Butcher shops and they love the edges that this machine produces. I credit this machine for my increased knife sharpening services. Will be buying another one.

I collect knives. Untill I bought your machine a few years ago I coluldn't sharpen a knife in spite of a drawer full of knife sharpening gadgets, stones, books and systems. I was to the point that I would just wait untill a local gun show or fair and I'd pack up 3 or 4 knives to take to let the "professionals" at the show sharpen them for me. Your machine has allowed me to finally sharpen my own knives!!! I get a great edge and I finally can see and understand what the heck the "wire edge" is that everyone always talks/writes about. I love your machine. If I can sharpen on it believe me, anyone can get a hair shaving sharp edge.

I first saw a Real Sharp sharping machine when Brother Punkin picked his up, well, Punkin didn't sharpin many knifes at home cause I hogged the machine ! I knew I just had to have one ! ya see, I've always had a "knack at sharpening as I worked in a saw mill, well this machine beats freehand and it's second to none ! #1 top quality ! I got a machine and took it home and had every knife in the house razor sharp in no time ( I can now sharpen 7 - 10 knifes in 1/2 hour ) Well the show I went to was only a 1 day show and 30 vendors and no room to walk - lol - so I was not expecting much, but I listened to Gene's advice and took out a couple of my "cheap" knifes and sharpened them, I soon had a group of people watching and when they saw how sharp the knifes cam out I was getting customers ! I sharpened $120 worth and I can't thank Gene enough for taking me to shows and all the pointers he has given me ! He has been a God send !

Jesus Freak,

First time sharping at a show !

I have had the Sharp Machine for almost a year now and could not be happier with the quality of the machine itself or the ease of use to produce an extremely sharp blade. Of the hundreds of knives I have sharpened, I have not only ever had one single complaint, but have received many compliments and praise as to the quality and sharpness of the blades. On many occasions, after sharpening a customer?s knife, they have left only to come back with additional knives that they wanted to get sharpened simply because they were so impressed with how sharp their knife was. I have also repaired at least 50 knives whose tips were broken off anywhere from 1/8th inch to almost 1 inch with the customer being extremely happy with the results. To summarize, I know for fact that a lot of what I do for my customers would not be possible without Gene?s ?Sharp Machine?. I truly feel that this is the best sharpening system on the market today.

Hey Gene, Things are going well. Use the machine both to make a bit of spending cash for the store and as a service; anyone who buys a knife can bring it back anytime for sharpening. One guy comes in from time to time from across town with some high end stuff- did three knives the total value of which are in the $1200-$1400 range. It's a nice service to be able to offer, sells knives and brings people back. Matter of fact I've used it to sharpen knives for customers who buy guns, ammo, etc- it's just a neat service to be able to offer and people appreciate it- they are usually more than pleased with the results. I've also used it to buff a gun or two. Had a stainless revolver come in that had some scratches and scuffs on the cylinder; took about five minutes with the felt belt and it was good as new. Also use it to do freehand convex edges using the unsupported upper part of the belt- have done some larger knives and a couple of ax heads. Thanks, Chris Tenpenny Nashville Sporting Arms

I was intrigued with the Sharp Shop Machine the first time that Gene sharpened my knife at the Jacob's Cave Swap meet in Versailles, Missouri. I had to have one, I contacted Gene and on a trip to Branson, Missouri I met with Gene and bought my machine. The first day I got home with it I had every knife in the house razor sharp. This is a quality sharpener, I have looked at a ton of other products and this is the one I think this is the best for the money. Let me tell you this, Gene is a great guy, he met me when I had time and he really took the time so I could really understand the possess of sharpening. Within a week I had my flyer (Scrivner Knife Werks) up at work and I have been sharpening about 3 to 5 knives a day, since. If you have any questions you are welcome to email or call me at jfischer@socket.net or 573-821-3540

Love it!!!

I did my research when I decided to start my own sharpening business. I called Gene and he was very helpful in describing his product and he had some great marketing ideas. After researching various sharpening systems I decided to purchase the "Sharp Machine". I received my sharpener last week and was puzzled on the assembly due to not enough detail/diagrams on the clamp and the guide. Gene talked me through the details and that evening I went to work on some of my own knives. All I can say is this is undoubtedly the best sharpening system. I have since sharpened 50+ knives and the results are amazing. Once you get the hang of it you can put an unbelievable edge on a knife. For years I used a stone and this system is fast, effective and the results are incredible. I guess you can say I like the machine.
