Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

I picked up this sharpening stone at HF for $.99
Sharpening Stone - Combination Sharpening Stone

And they are still making money on it! :laughing:


I sell the same ones under the tool tent they flew at 2 bucks a piece.

I had another vendor a knife dealer begging me to get him at least 100 of them and said 200 would be even better.

Timely post Moss :D
My boss had just called this past Friday and said is heading out next week to do a wholesale purchase for the coming season...

and I had forgotten all about that order. :shocked:

You guys don't even want to know the wholesale cost. :rolleyes:

That sharpening stone is good and lasts forever. Just oil it up well. The ceramic rod sharpener, not so much.

I imagine the ceramic rod sharpener will not last as long as the sharpening stone but I've had mine for about five years and it still does a fine job touching up our kitchen knives. I would guess that a butcher shop would go through one every few months but a normal household can get many years of service. And, at less than three bucks a pop that means just pennies a year for a sharpening device that requires much less concentration than the stone and is safer to use. I would keep it on the HF tools that don't suck list.

I've got several of the 4-sided diamond hones; love 'em. I never oil them. I don't think that's advisable for diamond hones. I find they work and last the best if one uses LIGHT pressure with them. I DO wash them occasionally with a little warm water and dish soap.

Ditto, that's my experience with them.

It was $2.99 and I forgot to use my 20% off coupon! :laughing:
