🔧 Why We Only Make One Tool – And Why That Matters

At Whetgrip, we’re not a company that churns out a new product every season. We’re not interested in gimmicks, quick fixes, or tools that “kind of” work. We make one thing — the Whetgrip sharpening stone cradle — and we’ve poured everything into making it the best.

 

🎯 Focus Over Flash

Too many tool companies spread themselves thin, creating endless variations that compromise on quality. We went the other way: all of our time, resources and testing go into one tool.

The result? A cradle that grips both the stone and the surface it sits on, staying rock solid whether you’re in a Michelin kitchen, on a butcher’s block or sharpening knives in the back of a van.

 

🇬🇧 Built on British Manufacturing

Whetgrip isn’t mass-produced overseas. It’s made here in Britain, hand-poured using FDA-certified, food-safe silicone, and cured to last a lifetime. Fewer moving parts, fewer weak points, no gimmicks.

 

🧪 Tested Where It Matters

We didn’t design this for a showroom. We designed it for:

Abattoirs sharpening 30+ knives a day

Butchers who need grip on blood-wet benches

Mobile sharpeners who work on the go

Chefs who want to sharpen their own knives

Every tweak, every material change, every curve was refined in real abattoirs, kitchens and workshops, not in a boardroom.

 

 

✋ Perfection Takes Time

By focusing on one tool, we can do what mass-market products can’t: refine, perfect, and back it with confidence. It’s not just a cradle; it’s a piece of kit that make sharpening safer, steadier, and faster.
