SharpMate Small Blade Adapter

SharpMate Small Blade Adapter

Small plane blades and spokeshave blades deserve the same steady sharpening setup as your full-size chisels and plane irons.

The Sawinery Small Blade Adapter helps you use your SharpMate with smaller, thinner blades that need a more supportive hold during sharpening. It's a simple way for these compact blades to sit more securely so you can sharpen them with better control, consistency, and confidence.

Important: This adapter requires SharpMate Plus or the SharpMate Upgrade Kit. If you have the standard SharpMate or if this is your first adapter purchase, choose the bundle with the Upgrade Kit. If you already have SharpMate Plus or another adapter bundle, choose Adapter Kit Only.
