Spyderco Gauntlet Fine-CBN Sharpener SP603FCBN

The Spyderco Gauntlet Fine-CBN Sharpener is a precision sharpening system engineered to make achieving razor-sharp edges simple and reliable for users of all skill levels. Designed for efficiency and ease of use, this manual system requires no electricity, oil, or water, and eliminates the need for complex clamps or fixtures. Its injection-molded, high-impact ABS plastic base is durable and stable, offering a secure platform for consistent sharpening. An integral handguard ensures safety, while the precisely engineered holes hold the abrasive rods at a fixed 40-degree angle—20 degrees per side—so every stroke produces a keen, long-lasting edge.

The Gauntlet system includes star-shaped rod holes that allow users to rotate the rods, exposing fresh abrasive surfaces when needed or orienting them for serrated-edge sharpening. This feature adds versatility, making the Gauntlet suitable for straight-edge knives, serrated blades, and even tools with unconventional edge profiles. Whether you’re restoring a worn-out edge or maintaining a perfectly sharp blade, the Gauntlet provides consistent results in just minutes, turning tedious sharpening into a straightforward, repeatable process.

The premium configuration of the Gauntlet incorporates both fast-cutting Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) rods and fine ceramic rods. The CBN rods handle tough, very dull, or heavily worn edges with speed and efficiency, while the fine ceramic rods deliver a polished, refined edge for everyday use. This dual-rod system allows users to transition seamlessly from edge reprofiling to final honing, providing a complete sharpening solution in a single, compact package. Its lightweight, portable design ensures it can be easily stored in a kitchen drawer, workshop, or taken along for field sharpening without sacrificing stability or performance.

The Spyderco Gauntlet Fine-CBN Sharpener embodies the balance of safety, precision, and versatility. Its thoughtful design allows even novice sharpeners to achieve professional-quality edges while giving experienced users the tools to maintain, restore, and refine their knives efficiently. Built from durable high-impact plastic and featuring CBN and ceramic rods, it is a dependable system for virtually any knife or cutting tool in your collection.
