Good knives are an essential part of your arsenal as a backyard pitmaster, grillmaster, or home cook. But your knives are only as good as how sharp they are. Nothing is more frustrating for me than trying to trim a brisket or cut up a rack of ribs and my knife failing. That’s where the Tumbler Knife Sharpener comes into play. I have the Starter Kit and have sharpened all my knives with it. It’s a truly fantastic product.
Offering a complete solution for sharpening, refining, and maintaining your blades. Perfect for home chefs, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values a razor-sharp knife blade.
There are many different ways to sharpen a knife, but I love Tumbler’s approach of making knife sharpening as easy as possible. I want to focus as much time and energy on my cooking and trust my knives to do the work they’re made to do. So, let’s see if Tumbler’s knife sharpener makes the cut!

Tumbler Knife Sharpener
If you’re expecting a series of old-school whetstones, Tumbler is an entirely different experience, and sharpening your knives is an experience. The Tumbler is, at its core, a two-piece knife sharpener. The magnetic knife holder base holds your knife in place at either a 15°F or 20°F angle. Then there’s the star of the show, the rolling sharpener. From the time you open the box on this knife sharpening kit, you will notice the attention to detail that Tumbler brings. I am very impressed by the quality level from the Tumbler company.
The roller has two sides to it. A diamond sharpening disc to help sharpen your knife blade and a stainless steel honing disc. The honing disc can help straighten your knife edge from bending. Honing your knife regularly helps keep your knife sharp without having to go through the entire sharpening process.
Both the rolling knife sharpener and the magnetic block have a beautiful wood finish along with the Tumbler logo, so they look good while making your knives razor-sharp. If you get the starter kit, it has a nice stand to hold and display these two parts like a work of art.
Tumbler Knife Sharpener Starter Starter Kit
The starter kit, which I have, comes with a rolling knife sharpener and a magnetic base. It also comes with two additional pieces, a wooden display stand for keeping the sharpener and the base nicely displayed without taking up extra storage space, and a leather strop. The strop helps polish the blade and remove any metal filings left over from the sharpening process.

Ownership Experience
Yes! This excellent sharpening kit is foolproof, fast, and easy. Just snap your knife to the magnetic holder and roll the sharpener on the blade. All my knives are sharper than when I purchased them. I would highly recommend the Tumble rolling knife sharpening kit. I am really impressed with the workmanship and quality of this product.
