Meet Sam

Sure Angle Management (SAM) was named after my dad. Sam was a US Marine, an Italian butcher and meat cutter.... and all around great guy.

Whenever Sam came to dinner, he would jokingly "bust my chops" over how dull my knives were.

He would even bring his own knives for Thanksgiving dinner! We would process venison together and eventually I started sharpening my knives.

After years of using rod guided hone systems one problem always persisted. The tip and heel of the blade ALWAYS had a shallower angle. It's simple geometry. The angle changes the further away from center you are. In fact, it could be as much as 5 degrees off on a standard kitchen knife!

So, we solved the problem by creating a parabolic curve in the rod guide. This minimizes angle variation from the center of the blade to the tip and heel. Elegantly simple. Sure Angle will craft the perfect edge with a precise angle, every time. It's really the easiest knife sharpening system to use!

Although Sam has gone to the next life where knives don't need sharpening, I now have his treasured knife set. It will stay sharp with the SAM system, and I'll hand it to my children and grandchildren.

Investing in a great knife is something we can all appreciate. Let us keep those edges SAM sharp whether it is your EDC folder or a high end chef's set.
