Customer Reviews

mark S.

Very solid, easy to adjust, just cannot use a thickness collar for different stones. Never used the stock rod but bought it because of reviews they wobble a bit. 4 stars because of cost, should be on all new models as an improvement at a small cost increase.

DonaldDon D.

Working with Gritomatic is pleasurable and it’s nice to have someone who knows his products, and can discuss them with their customers! Highly recommend them.

I have been needing this upgrade for some time now I am glad I pulled the trigger.

Very accurate!

This addition eliminates the issue of the vertical travel limit screws loosening . It is significantly more precise in the ability to dial in sharpening angle.

I have had the R2 for a couple years, and loved it. Recently bought the upgrade Rail Height Adjuster and it is a very nice improvement. Rock solid and much easier to adjust the angle instead of the original rod. Nice that it includes an easy to use place to keep the stone holder suspended out of the way that doesn't require moving the lever like the old one. I was constantly forgetting to mover that lever out of the way and subsequently compromising the angle I had set. My bad, not a design flaw, just the new one is better.

Just received this yesterday and have installed and used it for a few knives now. Quite an improvement from the original rod. Much much easier to adjust and rock solid. Really does make a difference in the feel and use of the R2. Well worth the investment. Hapstone should make this the standard for all their sharpeners. As usual for Hapstone, no instructions, but it's very easy to figure how to install it. Only takes a couple minutes.

First time use I sharpened two knives one folder a Benchmade Nakamura M390, and a Randell five inch stainless. Worked great, would buy again. Used Digital Angle Gauge on each stone. Smooth and stayed in place

This upgrade makes the Hapstone modular system feel like an entirely different ,and more precise system. Fast and easy to install. It makes super smooth fine tuning easy and best of all, it removes all wobble that the original metal rod has so everything is more tight and solid. It really does make it feel like a whole new higher quality system. The only negative I have noticed is that it seems to restrict the steepest angle you can set more than the original but still higher than you'd need for a knife. I noticed while using the scissor attachment (where the scissor blade is held vertical so higher is actually more acute). I couldn't raise the hight to make the angle any steeper than about 56.5° which is more than enough for most scissors anyway, but this pair needed more like 60°. Luckily you can put the scissor attachment on upside down which lowers the blade a couple inches and solves the problem. The only other complaint I have is that it seems pretty expensive for what it is. I'd recommend it a lot more if it were more like $60 because it's more of an upgrade than a necessity. Still, it fixes the hight bar wobble which bugged me a little and adds precision and convenience. Great upgrade.

Fine Tuning Adaptor w/ Rail Height Adjuster

Would you still recommend a Fine Tuning Adaptor, or does the Rail Height Adjuster make that unnecessary? If so, should I add the 6mm or 8mm adaptor?

BTW, thank you for answering all my questions! I'm about to place my entire order shortly. :)

The rail height adjuster negates the use of a fine tuning adapter, because the rail itself operates entirely as a fine tuning height adjuster.

Still necessary on a new Hapstone R2 Black?

If I buy a new Hapstone R2 Black, do I still need this, or does the newest version include this?

Follow

⚙️Leading Edge • 2 months ago

This is not related to newer or older versions, this is an optional upgrade that may or may not be preferred by users. The R2 Black also does not come with this.

Will this work on the R1?

⚙️Leading Edge • 1 year ago

Hapstone has not provided any information mentioning that it would work with the R1 model but it appears that it might work. Can't confirm it though.

How is thickness composition done with this?

Follow

⚙️Leading Edge • 1 year ago

As with any of the rack and pinion or rail type adjusters, you should use your digital angle cube when swapping stones. The rail type adjusters can very accurately change your angle but you still need an angle cube to confirm the angle you need.

Using a stone thickness compensator alone on many systems is not as accurate as making sure the angle is always correct by using your digital angle cube.

This looks like a rack and pinion system. I would expect a knob to turn to make it go up and down. I do not see a

knob. How do you make it go up and down?

The knob is on top (copper colored). It turned a long threaded screw inside that raises and lowers the linear bearing pivot like in the Work Sharp Precision Adjust system.
