As a young man, from the moment I first held a sharpening stone in my hand, I have sought to hone the craft of knife sharpening. I have spent countless hours learning techniques, studying the benefits of different angles, different knife blade materials, which stones perform best on which of those materials/angles and everything in between. I have spent countless hours with every tool that one could think of to perform this task as well, in hopes of “making it easier for everyone”. The amount of systems that I have piled up in my garage, work space, office drawers and various other places is simply put – overwhelming. But for pocket knives and knives that I would categorize as the 95% of everyday knives people will use and sharpen, I am confident that I have found the one company that can replace them all – with one simple, beautifully engineered piece of machinery. Engineering perfection.  

There are some deep rooted traditions and questions when it comes to knife sharpening that everyone who sharpens a knife will eventually encounter. Who’s knife is the sharpest? How long does it take you to sharpen your knife? Can you quickly sharpen a kitchen knife? Can your sharpener be taken on-the-go backpacking and be forgotten about, until it’s needed? Which knives can it actually sharpen? How steep is the learning curve when it comes to sharpening?  

As stated before, I have reviewed and handled a plethora of sharpening systems. From the cheap commonly found store bought sharpeners, to the very expensive sharpeners designed and produced for knife makers and fast paced working environments like a commercial kitchen. To name them all would be a task in and of itself. But the highlights of those you have read and seen in the previous articles, and those that  are the most commonly named among sharpening groups and friends, that list would include brands like Wicked Edge, Work Sharp, Tormek, Lansky, KME, Edge Pro and many others, but I am here to tell you that the latest sharpener I’ve tested and reviewed has surpassed them all, I am talking about the TSProf Blitz 360. 

From it’s incredibly engineered design, to the portability of the unit, ease of use and high quality build – the Blitz 360 simply can’t be beaten, on any level for the price and for the 95% of common knives that it will be used for. 

The team at TSProf has engineered what I would consider the closest thing to a perfect knife sharpener for the broad spectrum of knife sharpeners that are out there. From the person who wants to quickly sharpen a knife and does not care about polishing edges, the person who has never sharpened before but is getting into the hobby, to the experienced knife sharpener who may do it on the side as a hobby business to earn extra income. 

The beauty of this system is it’s modular design that is capable of being scaled down for simplicity sake from the basic Blitz model, to the Blitz 360 Complete, with the latter containing everything anyone would need to produce an insanely sharp hair popping, hair whittling edge. From the moment you assemble the unit, load a stone into the guide rod, clamping the knife, adjusting and setting your angle, to the moment you take the knife out of the unit to test the edge sharpness, you will understand the beauty and the amazing engineering of such a well built at what I consider to be the most fair price for any such product on the market. 

As someone who admires such quality, understanding and reaping the benefits of true engineering and well thought out designs, things like the clamping system not allowing the knife to rotate when the knife is clamped and you get to the outermost edges of the knife, to the built-in thickness copensator for changing stones and strops that may have different thicknesses, are things that make you sit back and say “this unit is ahead of it’s time.”

As I wrap my review of this system up, I found myself struggling to find the words to describe exactly how well built, how well engineered and how amazing this product is for the amount of money that the team oer at TSProf are asking for it. In the end, it’s my recommendation that the TSProf 360 Coplete is by far and hands down the best knife sharpening system on the market today.
