Smith's Edge, the Edge Experts
It's finally here! Here's the giveaway you've been waiting for! Megan, my newest blogging buddy over at Smith's Edge, has graciously offered to let me try a BOX load of their knife sharpeners with the hopes that I would give them a good review. No problems there! Smith's Edge, the market leader in the knife and scissor sharpening category, has become the fastest growing, full line supplier of great sharpening products. Why? Because they're that good!
This was not a hard review to do at all because these sharpeners are sleek and sexy and you just NEED to have one of your own! There's even one with a great ergonomically designed handle that fits in your hand like it was meant to be there. Sorry, but the Ceramic Pull-Thru Knife Sharpener IS NOT up for grabs! Nope, that one is for me! Let's just call it perks of the writing/review biz! Now you know which one is my favorite, so if you don't win one of FOUR, as in (4) sharpeners, you should just cough it up and buy one of these babies! You will end up having a love affair with the thing!
What IS included in the Smith's Edge Giveaway?
- One (1) Smith's Counter Safe Deluxe Knife and Scissors Sharpener, value $17.98
- One (1) Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod, value $14.98

My husband loves to sharpen knives, and likes to try new gadgets for this, so I know he would be very happy if I win this. I hope I'm commenting in the correct place. I checked out The Food Examiner and it said to come back here to comment. Thanks for the chance to win!

We have a Wustof sharpener that came with our set. I can't use it! LOL! The sound kills me! My husband is very particular about having the knives properly sharpened, though, so he would love a new one!
Posted by: Jingle | March 05, 2009 at 01:48 PM
2nd try is always better :-) I don't have a sharpener; but, DH has tried to sharpen my knives and scissors with a stone. I would love to try this one! Thanks.
Posted by: Annie | March 05, 2009 at 02:31 PM
YAY! This is exciting--my Ikea sharpener isn't cutting the mustard so to speak!
Posted by: Danielle | March 05, 2009 at 02:33 PM
I would really like to win one of these :-)
Posted by: deanna | March 05, 2009 at 02:47 PM
I would love even one really nice knife. My kids have ruined all of mine opening our bathroom door since the knob stopped working.
Posted by: Angie | March 05, 2009 at 02:57 PM
I don't have a knife sharpener, but I would sure love to fix all my dull knives!
Posted by: Deb | March 05, 2009 at 03:22 PM

Thanks for the give-away. I really need to sharpen my knives and the only way I've been doing it in the past is through mail-order. Thanks again!
Posted by: Paula | March 05, 2009 at 05:25 PM
I had a sharpener made by Chef's Choice. These look terrific.
Posted by: Pam | March 05, 2009 at 08:01 PM
My husband does all our sharpening. I think he'd love a good sharpener. Also I'd love to have the scissors sharpener. My scissors always need sharpening. Or I should say that I always have at least one pair that needs sharpening. Yes, I have too many pairs of scissors.

You're already in my reader - I love to check in every day! I've used some off brand knife sharpener - not a good idea. So I neeeeeed one!
Posted by: SusanH | March 05, 2009 at 08:46 PM
I have used a knife sharpner before but I don't have one now. I would love to have this one though. Thanks.
Posted by: Carolyn G | March 05, 2009 at 08:50 PM
I use to have a knife sharpner YEARS ago and I loved it! I would love to have one now! Especially a good one like this!! Thanks for the chance to win and all the other goodies you tempt our taste buds with!!

Posted by: Jodi Galland | March 05, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I've never used a knife sharpener before but I am definitely in need of one! The knife block we got for our wedding is full of dull knives :)
Posted by: Tracey | March 05, 2009 at 11:51 PM
My knives are so dull.
Posted by: Sharon | March 06, 2009 at 06:08 AM
I posted a comment earlier, just saying I was going to The Examiner. They could have at least answered your questions. Oh, well, it's worth a second comment to ensure I'm included in the giveaway...what lovely sharpeners!
Not to worry, we will all still follow your posts...you're too much fun to miss.
Posted by: betty | March 06, 2009 at 08:33 AM
You're already coming to my email every post, but I'd love a knife sharpener because my knives need some serious help.
Posted by: LB | March 06, 2009 at 09:42 AM
No haven't used a knife sharpener, usually leave those chore to hubby -- he had a cuisinart one. I am a subscriber already to your email.
Posted by: Johannah B | March 06, 2009 at 10:50 AM
I have a Calphalon sharpener that came with my knives. I also have a Fiskars one that I use for my craft scissors...similar to the one you show above...just not near as fancy :)

I've never used a knife sharpener before. I've sent my knives out to be sharpened before, but it was expensive and I wasn't pleased with the results. My knives are so dull right now, that they could really use some help. The Smith's Edge sharpeners look really nice and easy to use. Love your blog!
Posted by: Amanda Christensen | March 06, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Cheers to a fellow RI blogger! What a great contest. I'm adding you to my blog list. Thanks so much!

It seems that my knives are always dull. This would be a handy thing to have. I use a stone and I'm not good at it.
Posted by: Lisa | March 07, 2009 at 09:22 PM
Great products......
Posted by: Kathy D | March 07, 2009 at 10:19 PM
I have never used a knife sharpener before. I always sent them to a shop here in town.
Posted by: Kelly Ann T. | March 08, 2009 at 01:07 AM
My knives are in need of me winning this. It's their only hope. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Lisa A | March 08, 2009 at 01:20 AM
I have dull knives to the point that when I need a sharp knife I buy another one. I think I need to get one of these sharpeners.
Posted by: Vivian Deliz | March 08, 2009 at 11:38 AM
I've never owned one before but this looks great for keeping old knives alive instead of pitching them. thanks
Posted by: cheryl kelley | March 08, 2009 at 03:23 PM
I subscribed via email and would love to win, as I have never used a knife sharpener before, and my knives show it. :( Thank you for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com.

I would love to have the Counter Safe Deluxe Knife & Scissors Sharpener because both my knives and scissors need desperate help!!! Nancy P...
Posted by: Nancy P | March 09, 2009 at 09:55 AM
I wish the little market we used to have was still open, as they used to sharpen knives. Mna, could that butcher sharpen a knife! Now I have a RADA, and frankly I should throw it out, as I can't use it. It actually dulls the knives as opposed to sharpening them. I've never heard of Smith's Edge Sharpeners, but they look wonderful.
I have subscribed to your email list and look forward to new posts from you. Thanks for the giveaway!

Posted by: Katrina | March 09, 2009 at 09:03 PM
Hi there! I'm subscribed to your RSS feed, and I've never sharpened a knife.(!) And boy, do my knives need it.
Lovely giveaway!
Posted by: Natalie | March 10, 2009 at 11:18 AM
I am subcribed through my reader. Love the idea of a knife sharpener giveaway. Wish me luck!
Posted by: Amelia | March 10, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Knives are an expensive tool in the kitchen, keeping them in good condition is an worth it.
Not to mention the clean sharp cuts when cooking that makes everything looking cool.
Good contest.
Posted by: Chris Eirschele | March 10, 2009 at 12:00 PM
I don't blame you for keeping that Ceramic Pull-Thru model. It looks amazing! Great giveaway!!
Posted by: Kim Kunaniec | March 10, 2009 at 12:11 PM
My knives are permanently dull! I'm too much of a klutz to sharpen them and too much of a perfectionist to even start - I'd sharpen them down to nothing before it would seem "right". No kidding, I've been wanting knife sharpening lessons. I don't use a sharpener now, although there is a steel lying around somewhere.
Now that I know Smith's, I'll keep my eyes open in stores here in Canada.
Posted by: Jill Browne | March 10, 2009 at 12:49 PM
I'll give it a whirl. I've never had a knife sharpener.
Posted by: Beverly | March 10, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Thanks for reminding me to add you to my feedreader, which I just did. Yay!
As for sharpening knives, I have an old-fashioned steel which I have never learned to use properly. Then I bought a little pull-through sharpener at Surfas (the amazing restaurant supply place here in LA) by AccuSharp. It works okay. Not as well as getting off my butt and having my knives sharpened by a professional, which I try to do once a year.
Posted by: Erika Kerekes | March 10, 2009 at 01:50 PM
I haven't used this brand of sharpener but I'm open to trying these! I've heard their knives are excellent and I just might get a new set. Thanks for this great opportunity! Twittered and blogged about it too! (I've been following your blog and linking to you for awhile now)
Posted by: JoAnn | March 10, 2009 at 02:05 PM
I have never used a knife sharpener, nor have I ever gotten my knives sharpened. My knives are hurting. Great giveaway!
Posted by: Stephanie B | March 10, 2009 at 02:16 PM
I had a Pampered Chef knife sharpener back in college... did a decent job, but I was always afraid of wrecking my knives. These days I use a Henckels sharpener that I got from a friend... but again, not sure if I actually do it correctly!
Posted by: Lo! | March 10, 2009 at 02:22 PM
I have never sharpened my knives before, but have taken them a place one time. I love the idea of a scissors sharpener, as my kitchen shears are SO dull!
Great post, Donna!
Posted by: Annalise | March 10, 2009 at 02:32 PM
You're now in my Google reader :). My husband is the best knife sharpener I know!
Posted by: Margaret | March 10, 2009 at 02:32 PM
I added you to my google reader and can't wait to see the next creations you will share with us.
I have used a rod style knife sharpener, but now I use one that is more similar to the edge grip sharpener. I don't know what brand it is.
Posted by: Tamara | March 10, 2009 at 02:33 PM
Well, I'm up for a knife sharpener! Don't have one presently and lots of dull knives!
