Thread: Spyderco Sharpmaker - Manual/DVD?

All,

I was lucky enough to obtain a lightly used Spyderco Sharpmaker from the Buy Sell/Trade forums a while back but it didn't include any instructions.

Would someone happen to have a scan of the manual and/or rip of the instructional video they could share with me?

I am hoping to use the Sharpmaker to maintain my pocket knife and kitchen knives but it would seem some instruction in the devices use would be helpful.

Thanks
-Geoff

Geoff,

If you don't get any other responses, you can buy a copy of the DVD from here...

An excellent suggestion and quite a reasonable price.

Unfortunately it appears difficult to have them ship to Canada.

Why not just email Spyderco service and see what they can do for you? I checked the website but no instruction sheets were available for download that I could tell but most companies don't mind sending out replacement instructions/manuals if they are in stock. They'll probably want something for the DVD though... it's not just a photo copy and costs a bit more to mail.

A fine suggestion I have just emailed the customer service address with the request; will see how that goes.

SpyderCo customer support (thanks for the suggestion) was kind enough to email me a PDF copy of the manual. Most helpful.

Thanks all for the assistance.

Might you be so kind as to email me that PDF file?

I was fortunate enough to receive a Sharpmaker for Christmas, and I would like to carry the manual with me on my iPhone and my laptop.

I've tried to contact Spyderco with my request, but they no longer list direct email addresses on their site, instead opting for a rather inelegant set of preset customer service request forms (none of which, as one might imagine, suit as unusual an inquiry as mine.)

Then again, it won't be that unusual for that long. In our household we're already well underway with abandoning all paper documentation and owners manuals for products in favor of PDFs and other digital files. They take up less space, are far less likely to be lost or wear out, and set up correctly, can be easily accessed from anywhere.

Also: Thanks!
