About Leading Edge Platform

Leading Edge Sharpening System is the only 3D-printable sharpener that can sharpen knives, scissors, and other edged tools. It has a magnetic knife holder, a three-point knife guide, optional accessories such as vertical knife support, scissors clamp, long blade attachment, fine-tuning, convex stone holder, and various knife clamps. Leading Edge Sharpening System works extremely well for almost any sharpening scenario, outperforming many high-end sharpening systems currently on the market.

Designed for hobbyists and makers, Leading Edge Sharpening System is based on traditional concepts: 6" sharpening stones, modular approach, and standard diameter rods. It gives Leading Edge platform a very low cost of ownership in conjunction with unlimited upgradability. You are not limited to 3D-printed accessories designed by Leading Edge. You can use various compatible accessories and clamps made by Hapstone, TSPROF, Kazak, and KakBritva.

Leading Edge Core is a major step towards true "cross-platform" sharpening systems designed by Burt Joubert, creator of GearConnect, the bridge between famous sharpening systems and clamps designed for other platforms. Leading Edge Core goes far beyond that – customers can create hybrids where two sharpening systems are fused together. Work Sharp Precision Adjust becomes the first habitat for Leading Edge Core Upgrade, a key element of symbiosis. Leading Edge Core Upgrade accepts attachments designed for Leading Edge Sharpening System such as vertical knife support, scissors clamp, long blade attachment, etc.

Neodymium Magnets Safety Warning
Neodymium magnets possess the risk of forcefully attracting each other, potentially causing skin pinching and leading to severe injuries. Due to their brittleness, neodymium magnets can easily shatter and break.

To ensure safety:

  • Keep neodymium magnets out of reach of children.
  • Avoid proximity to individuals with pacemakers.
  • Prevent contact with magnetic media.
  • Keep a safe distance from GPS devices and smartphones.
