Stay Sharp with Smith’s on National Knife Day

Smith’s Sporting Group Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence

Knife enthusiasts, culinary artists, outdoor adventurers, and craftsmen from around the world celebrate National Knife Day on August 24th. Smith’s Sporting Group proudly recognizes this day by reflecting and highlighting its distinguished heritage and unparalleled expertise. With a legacy spanning an impressive 137 years, Smith’s Edge Experts have been the driving force behind success in various domains – from outdoor adventures to culinary experiences.

A Legacy of Sharpening Experience: 

Founded in 1886 in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Smith’s Consumer Products emerged as a pioneer in sharpening tools, crafting precision solutions that harnessed the power of Novaculite – a natural stone indigenous to the Ouachita Mountains. 

This laid the foundation for the brand’s evolution into a trusted name among professionals and enthusiasts. Smith’s Consumer Products began its journey by perfecting the art of sharpening tools. The Edge Experts leveraged this rich history to create sharpeners that set industry standards, earning the trust of users across generations. 

Today, Smith’s offers the broadest line of knife and scissor sharpeners available, ranging from simple, fixed-angle pull-through sharpeners for consumers who want quick and easy sharpening to sophisticated precision kits designed for the knife sharpening enthusiast. Smith’s makes both manual and electrical sharpeners that incorporate many different abrasive materials, including diamond, carbide, ceramic, bonded synthetic abrasives, and, of course, natural Arkansas stones. 

The company is constantly striving to identify improved methods for providing consumers with the best edge. In recent years, Smith’s Consumer Products developed a comprehensive array of high-quality knives and tools to help anglers, hunters, and other outdoor enthusiasts find success- both in the field, on the water, and at the table. 

National Knife Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a recognition of the role that knives have played throughout history. From the earliest stone knives designed by our ancestors to the modern, precision-engineered blades that grace kitchens and workshops today, knives have been integral to human survival, progress, and creativity.
