Knife users who are truly in tune with their cutting tools do not let them get dull; they maintain their edges with frequent "touch-up" sharpenings. Specifically designed for this type of diligence, the Galley-V has a compact, high-impact-plastic base that can be clamped or even permanently mounted to a countertop or other work surface. The base measures 6" long and 2" wide.

Star-shaped holes in the base position the sharpener's fine ceramic rods at a 20-degree angle (10 degrees per side) to easily create thin, ultra-keen edges on all your knives, especially kitchen knives. The extra-long stones (12" length) are ideal for sharpening large knives and can be rotated to orient their edges to quickly sharpen serrated blades. They are also easily cleaned with ordinary household cleanser.

Spyderco Galley V is my favorite kitchen knife sharpener

I've used grinders, Norton Crystalon, India oil stones, blue-baked silicon carbide, Waterstones, diamond plates, 3M lapping film, carbide scrapers, gadgets, and jigs... and this is my favorite. I bought a pair of 9" CBN rods at the same time for hogging off thick bevels, then I refine and finish the edge with the ceramic rods. I add a drop of oil to the rods so they don't load with swarf. Canola oil is easily accessible and wipes off, or washes off with Dawn dish soap. Once a knife is properly profiled and sharpened, the ceramic rods keep it sharp for months. I use a strop after first sharpening, but a few swipes on the ceramic rods for maintenance are quick, easy, and effective without needing electricity (no cord). I mounted my base to a walnut cutting board and wrap the rods in leather when not in use. Stropping keeps my knives sharp for weeks. I sometimes hold one ceramic rod and swipe it along the edge of a knife laid on a wood block, holding the blade at about 20º. The ceramic abrasive is effective on the hardest super steels.

Great sharpener for kitchen knives- very easy to use.

Great sharpener for kitchen knives. The 12 inch rods are good for 8 or 10 inch blades. These rods also fit the Spyderco Gauntlet sharpener which come with 9 inch rods. Note that the Galley V and Gauntlet rod bases are designed for different sharpening angles.
