Reviews
Michael Turner
I’ve used sharpening gear for over twenty years, and Gatco’s diamond and ceramic systems continue to impress me. The angle guide makes it nearly impossible to mess up, and the stones cut fast without feeling harsh or uneven. I restored three kitchen knives, a hunting blade, and even a serrated pocket knife in one afternoon with results sharper than when they were new. The build quality feels rock-solid, and the maintenance accessories make the whole setup feel like a true professional kit.

As someone who cooks daily, a dependable edge is everything—and Gatco’s sharpening systems have become my go-to. The Arkansas and ceramic stones give me a level of control I never got from pull-through devices. The edges come off polished, clean, and consistent, and I love that the honing oil is food-safe. Even my stainless-steel scissors cut better now than when I bought them. It’s rare to find a system that works for both delicate kitchen blades and heavier utility knives, but this one does.

I carry a compact Gatco sport sharpener in my hiking pack, and it’s saved me more than once when my field knife dulled after heavy use. The carbide section quickly reestablishes a working edge, and the ceramic rods finish it off smoother than I expected from such a small tool. I recently paired it with one of their guided systems at home and was pleasantly surprised by how intuitive everything felt. The consistency of the results is what keeps me coming back to Gatco.
