Warthog Sharpeners V-Sharp Elite A4

Warthog USA’s V-Sharp Elite A4 pairs the company’s most feature-packed portable blade-sharpening unit with a detachable wooden base for added stability.

The design is simple to use, with a pair of spring-powered, 325-grit diamond-coated honing rods sharpening both sides of the blade simultaneously as it is swept along a vertical guide.

Not only are the angles of the rods user-adjustable to provide either a 15-, 20-, 25- (default) or 30-degree edge, but the rods can be reversed as their opposite sides incorporate finishing steels for a razor edge.

Accessory 270-, 600- and 1,000-grit honing rods are available aftermarket, and the V-Sharp Elite A4 is offered in five colors.

MSRP is $125. For more information, visit warthogusa.com.
