Ok, we’ve all seen a hand-held knife sharpener. But have you found one that really works, is sturdy, and doesn’t fall apart at the first sign of heavy use? In steps AccuSharp. With a line of sharpeners for just about every type of blade, there’s now a solid hand-held, easy to use sharpener for everyone. AccuSharp’s base model, the Knife and Tool Sharpener, gives a wide range of blades that can be sharpened. This one tool will sharpen straight knives, serrated knives, filet, boning, hunting knives, you name it. Not to mention the heavier tools and blades like axes and machetes. And all in as little as ten seconds!

But what about scissors you ask? Well, AccuSharp answers back with ShearSharp. If you call it scissors, snips, shears, or clippers then this is just what you need to put it back on the edge. Not stopping there, AccuSharp also makes a sharpener specifically for outdoor and garden equipment. The GardenSharp Tool Sharpener is for sharpening single edge blades. It’s sturdy enough to be used on anything from a garden hoe or shovel to pruning shears. It can even keep an edge on those lawnmower blades.

One specialty sharpener you’ll rarely find elsewhere, AccuSharp kept in mind the die hards of the fishing world and created the AugerSharp for ice fishermen. Specifically designed to sharpen ice auger blades and even fitted with a bright orange finger guard to easily be seen on the ice.

Each of these hand held sharpeners come with a finger guard that is full length for great protection and is ergonomic for either hand. The Diamond Honed Tungsten Carbide blades do not need oil and are replaceable on everything except the ShearSharp. For those hunters and sportsmen who like to color match all their gear, AccuSharp also offers their original knife sharpener in OD Green and Camouflage. All of the AccuSharp hand helds are able to be washed by hand or in the dishwasher without fear of rust or damage.

And finally, for those of us who would like a table mount version, AccuSharp gives us the SturdyMount. With the included stainless steel screws, you can mount its solid plastic base to anything from a kitchen cutting board to a workbench in the garage and have a quick sharpening at hand. The SturdyMount has the same replaceable blades as the handheld versions as well.

With a lightweight, easy to use, portable sharpener for almost everyone, AccuSharp truly lives on the cutting edge!

These sharpeners are so awesome that Denny & Robert bought one directly from the dealer at ATA to try out and all reports are that they are 100% satisfied. You can learn more about these sharpeners at http://www.accusharp.com/ and at only about $10 retail, they are worth every penny!

TalkHunting Pro Staffer Duane "Duane72" Taylor was born in western NY. As the son of a pastor, he spent several childhood years in Wisconsin, then West Virginia where he graduated high school before landing in Rhode Island. Moving out on his own, Duane spent a few years in Texas before enlisting in the US Air Force where he served for four years, stationed in Germany and South Carolina, and took part in Operation Desert Shield. After, he returned to RI where he served an additional year in the Air National Guard and married his fiancé Desiree. He now works full-time as the Facility Manager of his church, as well as volunteer serves on the board of Deacons. Duane cherishes his life with Desiree and is the proud father of two boys.

Growing up in a family that, even though they were not opposed to it, had minimal interest in hunting, Duane had few, if no, opportunities to experience the world of hunting for himself. He has always had an enjoyment of fishing and holds fond memories of fishing the ponds and lakes of Wisconsin with his dad and siblings. Always having a deep interest in hunting though, he took it upon himself to get started the year after settling home in Rhode Island. Armed with nothing more than an ancient recurve given to him by an old man in his church when he was in his teens, and decked out in his Air Force BDUs, he plunged into what would soon become a passion, hobby, and lifestyle.

It was several years before Duane would arrow his first deer with a used compound bow he had "upgraded" to. But those first years brought with them many valuable lessons, mentors, and friends and were the foundations of the successful years that followed. Hunting also the shotgun and muzzleloader seasons, spring & fall turkey, as well as some small game and coyote, Duane spends a great deal of time in the woods or preparing to be there. His other passions are most importantly God, his family, and his off-season fix of motorcycles.
