I demonstrated our Knife sharpener and became the Hottest selling knife sharpener on Cutlery Corner TV knife show.                                                                               Block sharpeners are small family business made in America and aways will be. we offer a lifetime guarantee and will not ever sell out to big businesses that will take them to China to be made.
