Since the early days of Jende Industries, we’ve had the privilege of working with many talented craftsmen and innovators in the knife sharpening community. One of those partnerships was with Ken Schwartz of Precise Sharpening, whose products became well known among sharpening enthusiasts around the world.
As of June 18, 2016, that partnership officially came to an end, and Ken Schwartz products are no longer available through Jende Industries.
This decision was not made lightly. Over the years, Jende and Ken shared a productive working relationship that introduced many customers to premium sharpening products. We appreciate the support of everyone who trusted us during that time.
Unfortunately, maintaining a high level of customer service requires consistent product availability and dependable delivery schedules. Ongoing supply and fulfillment challenges eventually made it difficult for us to meet the standards our customers expect from Jende Industries. After careful consideration, we decided it was in the best interest of our customers and our business to discontinue offering Ken Schwartz products.
Our Commitment Continues
Although this chapter has come to a close, it also provided an opportunity for us to invest in developing our own line of sharpening products designed around the needs of today’s sharpening community.
Today, Jende Industries offers a complete range of products developed to provide consistent performance and reliable availability, including:
- Jende Poly Diamond Emulsions
- Jende Nano Cloth Ultra Strops
- Jende Kangaroo Leather Strops
- Jende Cow Leather Strops
These products are designed for a variety of sharpening methods, whether you sharpen by hand, use powered equipment, or rely on guided sharpening systems.
Supporting Every Type of Sharpener
Our goal has always been to provide sharpeners with dependable tools and consumables that deliver consistent results. Whether you’re maintaining kitchen knives, woodworking tools, straight razors, or outdoor knives, the Jende stropping and polishing system is designed to fit into virtually any sharpening workflow.
Our expanding range of strops and compounds is available in multiple sizes and configurations, making them compatible with many of today’s popular guided sharpening systems as well as traditional bench sharpening.
Thank You for Your Support
We understand that some customers specifically looked for Ken Schwartz products, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience their discontinuation may have caused.
At the same time, we’re excited about the products we’ve developed and continue to improve. The experience gained over many years has allowed us to create a lineup of Jende sharpening compounds and stropping materials that reflect our commitment to quality, consistency, and customer support.
We appreciate the continued trust our customers place in Jende Industries and invite you to explore our complete collection of Jende Strops, Poly Diamond Emulsions, and CBN Emulsions for your sharpening needs.
