Words from some of our customers …
“I am extremely happy with the 5005. This sharpening fixture is more heavy duty than the videos or pictures show. Worth the money and built to pass down for generations. Returned phone calls, emails, and customer service like this if so rare these days. All companies could learn from this type of customer service.”
“I received my 5005 All American Sharpener yesterday, and could not be happier. Delivery was fast, the packaging is top notch (which may not be of much interest to some, but it matters to me). Set up was a breeze. Within less than an hour, I had the sharpener mounted on my work bench and had sharpened 3 blades.
As a retired mechanical engineer/tool maker, it’s obvious to me that you folks did your homework, kudos to you! Such a clever, simple, well designed and well made tool that is easy to use and produces great results. I believe that anyone who owns a mower, needs one of your products.
Thank you,”
“I first just want to say WOW!! Received my order in 1 day!!! I did a lot of research on YouTube, and all the different reviews on how to sharpen mower blades...then I found you guys (thank God).
Not knowing the device, but just hearing “how great it is” I decided to go for it (after listening and seeing many positive reviews). I’m a residential home owner who cares about my lawn. I like to take care of my equipment, and then your device shows up...
Absolutely a game changer!!! I’m sharpening my own blades, and they’re better than ever before!!! Even better than when I paid to have them professionally done!!
Great product!!! Just wanted you to know:-)
Thanks!! Many years of sharpened blades!!”
“As a 20 year golf course mechanic i just wanted to let you all know i am amazed by the simplicity and ease of use of your product. This has been what i have been looking for since the beginning of my career. I’ve always sharpen blades with a 4 inch grinder but now it’s so much more accurate. I have 20 blades that need to be sharpened regularly and this system is going to make that so simple. I’ve only had this jig for a week I’ve already showed two other people who are interested in purchasing. Good luck in the future and continued success thank you.”
“I love this lawnmower blade sharpener! It’s the best one that I have seen so far and... Since I’m 71 years old this month... You know that I’ve been looking for a good lawnmower blade sharpener for a long time!
Thanks! 👏
Sincerely,”
“Just wanted to let you know, I got this mounted and tried it out. It works great and makes a terrific addition to my shop. And locally made !! Thank you!!”
“Congratulations on your fine product. I find the workmanship and quality of your product to be excellent.
Thanks very much…
Warm Best Regards,”
“So nice to make a purchase that exceeds expectations. I punished my blades for years with a file and grinder with so so results. This is a simple and top notch fixture that is an example of American made quality. Thank You!”
“i don’t write many reviews on things I buy. i did however feel the need to write to you and tell you how happy i am with my purchase of your model 5005. i ordered on Tuesday night and just received it Friday. what great service from OH to MO. I set it up on a small stand to make it portable and the mounting was very easy. I use a cordless 12v Bosch angle grinder and found a pin to fit in no time. I started with my straight blades for Ferris Z1500 52” deck. A 40 grit flap disc from Workpro did a good job taking down material on the three blades. As your video says it takes many passes to get the proper angle back. i set it at 35 degs and went through 3 battery changes. hopefully now it won’t take as long on resharpening. i showed my neighbor who has a lawn care service and he was so impressed that now he is going to order one. i have 2 set of gator blades to sharpen still but i was waiting to cut the acers of grass and see how these straight blades perform. The jig is somewhat pricy but worth it. I also like that I am supporting an american business and american workers. Thanks again”
“I just want to say this was more than I hoped for! Very well machined, works great. Makes sharpening blades a breeze. Nice to see a truly well made American product. Proud to be American!!! Thank YOU!!!”
“Just want to say I like my 5005 Gen 2 have enjoyed using and all the help you’ll have give me.”
“What a great product !!! The wife ordered the 5005 model on Thursday afternoon and we received it Monday afternoon.(would have been sooner but UPS don’t do weekends lol ) I was able to set it up and decided to try it out on some Land Pride finish mower blades I had in the shop. Was able to get the blades brought back to a decent cutting edge again. Then I sharpened the blade on my Toro push mower with fantastic results!!!!! cuts like a new mower !! Getting ready to do my Ferris next ! Easy to use,made in the USA ! What a great product the All American Sharpener is.”
“I received my model 5005 Gen2 a couple of days ago and used it yesterday on a new set of Gator Blades. These blades were not sharp at all when I got them and had a pretty heavy coat of paint. It only took a few minutes to set everything up and sharpen all 3 blades. I am a Millwright by trade and can honestly say this is a well designed and quality tool. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend this much money on a tool to just sharpen blades, but I’m glad that i did. Keeping a perfect angle across the cutting edge also helps to keep the blade balanced and you don’t have to keep grinding off extra material trying to balance the blade. I think it will also extend the life of mower blades by only taking off enough material to gain a sharp edge and not any excess. Thanks for being an American made product, keep up the good work.”
“I have messed around with wheel grinders and was ready to pull the trigger on a $400+ Oregon Blade Grinder. The Oregon looks like it could do the job but I was still just a bit gun-shy on pulling the trigger on a purchase. I stumbled across another competitor’s hand grind blade sharpener design. Through research I finally found the originator of this design - All American. I am so glad I did.
I took a chance and bought the 5005 Gen 2 as it seemed to be the best all around model. WOW, WOW, WOW is all I can say!!
I have worked in machining in industries over the last 20 years and while not a machinist myself, I know what good is and great can be. I am very impressed with the quality and simplicity of the design. The black anodizing is very sharp. The ball de-tent and markings to indicate angle are first class.
The printed quality of the included instructions are very high. I love the packaging - expandable foam packaging with a plastic cover.
Everything from instructions to design to packaging are very well thought out.
Once I had it out of the box, with the correct mounting bolts, it was mounted and grinding my first blade in 15 minutes. The first pass on the first blade indicated what I had knew to be the case - my 30 degree angle was no where near 30 degrees. I kept grinding with a 40 grit flap wheel until I had a consistent edge. I will get a blade balancer to complete the deal.
I know this review may sound too good to be true but I am so impressed with this product. I would rather pay less but in the end this is an investment in a quality yard and the cost is well worth it.
Thank you,”
“I placed the order for my Model 5005 on May 13 and it arrived May 15–and this was in the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown! This is such an ingenious and quality product. I had always sharpened my blades by freehand before but never felt like I was doing it right. This product makes it so simple I’m confident it’s right every time. It’s obvious the folks at All American Sharpener take immense pride in their work. We need more manufacturers like them!”
“Ordered mine 2 months ago, it’s simple and easy to use and does a fantastic job, thx all american sharpener for a truly great product.”
“Wow! This thing is great!”
“I was very skeptical but I ordered it. I am totally blown away on this product. The quality is very high and with proper set up, due to the great directions a videos, I was in business. I sharpened my blades by hand for years. I prides myself on clean sharp blades. Once I took 2 passes on my hand sharpened blades, I realized I was not as good as I thought I was. This is a must have tool... Thank You very much for this tool, it is one of these things you find in your life that you can’t be without.”
“I just received my 5005 sharpener. Thanks for manufacturing such a top quality product that is made in the USA.🇺🇸 ”
“Ordered Saturday night, got it this afternoon and already did 4 sets of blades.
I love it.”
“Just to let you know that my new 5005 sharpener arrived yesterday & so I put it to use immediately. It is so impressive & easy to use, I couldn’t be happier with it.
I truly think it’s money well spent & will last me a lifetime. It’s made a very important job, a million times easier. What a product you have made, I will be recommending this to all my friends in the business!
Thank you & I will certainly be buying another bracket so I can use it out on site too.
Many thanks”
“Just wanted to let you know how pleased and satisfied I am with my purchase of the Mod.# 5000 sharpener. I ordered the unit and 2 days later, I had the unit!
I have worked with my hands my whole life (retired now) and I know the difference between good quality and cheap material. You , gentlemen, sell a very high quality piece of equipment. As my mower is brand new, I haven’t had the chance to use my purchase, but I’ve gone thru the motions and I can tell that I have bought my last blade sharpener! Thanks.
Just so you know, I was sitting in my barber shop and I noticed a write up in the Farm Show Magazine about your product.
Thanks again.”
“This item works great! I love it soooo much! I have sharpened 55 blades so far, regular, mulching, high pitch, gator, large and small. This works great! Perfect every time! Thanks for making such a great product! Thanks again and keep up the great work!”
“Excellent product used right out of the box with perfect results, thank you, good job”
“Absolutely ZERO issues with the monster blades off my Ventrac with the 72” Deck. I believe the 72” deck is their largest as well, so you should be good to go with all Ventrac decks and blades for future reference.
Perfect every time!
Best sharpening devise I have ever used.
If you ever need a referral or reference I am here for you.
Thank you for all your help. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Hey guys....Just wanted to say, I just got my Model 5000 set up (took about 10 minutes)....Sharpened my blades off my brand new Ferris Z1 48”....Blades were very dull from factory, and painted....The 30 degree angle from factory was very close....Took about 3 - 4 minutes with each blade to finish, using blade balancer for a guide....Can’t believe how EASY this thing is to use...HUGE thank you for such a quality, easy to use piece of equipment that I will be using for many years to come...Love it, and I will definitely be telling my mowing buddies about it...Have an awesome day!”
“I just got my american sharpening system and this thing is built so well. This quality is what I expect and I love love love when I get it. Thanks y’all!”
“Outstanding product! Thanks
Just installed the 5002 and was up and running within 30 minutes. The jig allowed me to grind a beautiful, professional edge in minimal time. I will now look forward to sharpening blades.”
“Myself being a retired master mechanic, welder, fabricator, find this tool one of the best for the money tools that I have ever purchased. It will be a time and material saver for sure.
It did have a little curve in the set up process. But once I figured out where to center the blade (star center hole) I had 6 blades properly sharpened and balanced in an hour.
Thank you for a great product.”
“Just wanted to let you know I received my sharpener today and this thing is awesome. I’ll admit I’m a freak about my lawn and this unit finally gives me the control I need to make the perfect grind on my blades. The Honda adapter plate works great as well. I’ve always struggled with the angled blade and this adapter puts it in perfect alignment. I can’t wait to try this on my bi-level mulching blades for my ZT. Well done All American Sharpeners, you’ve got a great All American product.”
“Received my sharpener today & just finished my first set of blades. They are so sharp and the tool is just beautifully made—one of my best purchases ever. The Honda adapter works perfectly—who says American companies can’t turn out a decent product? Look at All American Sharpener!! Thanks again.”
“Absolutely amazing product finally got around to sharpening all my blades. I love this sharpener I’ll make sure to leave a great review. Thanks again!”
“I just bought an All American sharpener for the shop. Paired it up with a HF hercules grinder. I must say i really like it. The bradley just takes too long on really dull blades. The all american with a hard wheel makes short work of them. Time is money. Well made device.”
“Got It! Thank You! It is everything that you Promised! Wonderful and Easy to Use!
Thanks again!”
“Just wanted to let you know I am very pleased with my sharpener. Your service was outstanding. I was keep informed and received my order in just a few days. Been looking at this sharpener for about a year. Finally pulled the trigger. Glad I did. Well done Todd Austin.
Thank You”
“I just purchased my Model 5000, I sharpened three sets of blades this weekend, this is one of the best tools I have ever purchased. I wish I found this years ago. It’s a pleasure to buy something that is so well built and works the way its suppose to.”
“I wish I would have bought this sooner!! Setup took about 30 minutes but only because I couldn’t decide where to mount it. I sharpened 2 sets of blades that were headed for the scrap metal pile in about 30 minutes this ended up saving me close to $80. This is the perfect tool for sharpening mower blades and I highly recommend it!!”
“Received the 5000. Wow. I only thought I knew how to sharpen blades. Wish I had found y’all 6 years ago when I retired from Water dept and started yards. Had been using flap disk along time But this is nice. Thank you.”
“Just received my model 5002. WOW, I can’t believe how bad of a job I had done by “EYE”!!! I just want to thank you for a quality, easy and safe to use product.”
“The original John Deere blades needed the washer. I have a set of gator blades I use that didn’t need the washer and they worked perfectly. Thank You! P.S. do you know anyone looking for a $250 Bradley blade Sharpener? Haha”
“This is the best blade sharpener I have ever seen. Quickly produces a perfect cutting edge on blades in just a few minutes. Easy setup and very flexible mounting make this a great choice.”
“The jig came today and I just finished sharpening both sets of blades for my 2 Toro Timemasters. Thanks! I was careful to get the adapter pin adjusted until it was centered. Using an 80 grit wheel, which might be too fine, but it worked well. This is so much better than using my dremel tool!
Thanks again for the fast shipping and great service. This will save me a lot of time. I wish I would have found this years ago!”
“I just purchased sharpener from you and I would like to know if you would cut a blade holder that would sharpen at 45 degree angle along with what I have now. If this is possible please advise on the price and part number so that I may purchase on line as before. Oh by the way I believe this is the best purchase I ever made. I love it. Thanks.”
“I work for a lawn mower shop selling lawn equipment. I sharpen blades as a side job at night. After seeing your sharpener on u-tube, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Some of the blades I get are in bad shape so I use 2 grinders, one with a hard grinding wheel to get the blades close to the right angle. Then I finish with the other grinder with a 36 grit flap blade. I can sharpen the blades much faster than before,and the finished blades are better than factory new.
I recommend this grinding system to any one who wants quality blade sharpening.
Thank you.”
“This sharpener is sweet! I can bag and mulch like a pro, without that ridiculous price tag of other blade sharpener. My only problem, I didn’t get the more expensive model that grinds curved blades. I had never seen one of those blades until the second day I owned this jig, no fault of all American sharpener though. Thanks guys!”

“Just wanted to let you know that the All American Sharpener is absolutely fantastic! It really does a nice job and it is really well designed with great materials and precision. I started learning on an old scrap blade I had and I quickly noticed how bad my cut angle the blade can be if you don’t use the All American Sharpener. Wow! The freehand grinder jobs I have done for years looked good but way off. In fact I decided to refurbish a couple of blades to use for back-ups the better I got with the tool. All I can say is that it was amazing to see the edge that I was able to get on a old blade that was on the scrap heap. All in all, this was a great addition to my shop and it will server me, and those neighbors that saw it in action, for a very long time.”
“Ordered your All American Sharpener on Monday received it on Wednesday. Great service and Excellent product! This will save me lots of time and money and make my lawn accounts look so much better. Thanks a Million!”
“Been meaning for a while now to drop you a note. I thought you would like to know that you have two more happy owners in Texas. Funny story on one of them. He told his wife about this blade sharpener, what it cost, and of course got the ole “for a mower blade!”. So he set up the jig on a Saturday morning expecting to sharpen the blades and then get to mowing. Well, he discovered the ease of use and the job it did that he ended up changing the oil/filter, cleaning the air filter, and general TLC to his zero turn (make it like new again). Feeling so good about these razor sharp blades, he went and got the forgotten step child (push mower) and sharpened its blade as well, tune up, etc. Basically, Saturday became amazement of sharp blades day turn into TLC to the mower day. The wife is all curious about this, comes out to the workshop to see this “thing” in action. He shows her the razor sharp blade, etc. etc. Sunday comes along. He gets out there and goes to mowing with the ever so often departure to inspect cut grass. Father-in-law shows up un-expectantly. Wife comes out with her Dad and starts plucking cut pieces of grass to show Dad how nicely cut the blades of grass are then heading to the workshop to show Dad this “jig”. So there you have it, a new one that you have not heard of.”

“Wow quick and fast. This sharpen out beats my Oregon sharpener, the Oregon sharpener is hard to use and keep a nice straight line but no worry with the All American sharpener. You can have the best mower but if you don’t have good blades your mower is not that great. Have 3 zero turns it takes more time to take off my blades than to sharpen them.”
“Works great. Takes no time to sharpen blades. Blades come out sharper than any new blade. Just wish Amazon carried the one for mulching blades.”
“Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you but i received my replacement pin for the grinder that you sent me. This blade sharpener works GREAT!!! I have been telling everybody about it and now they are wanting one. Thank you again for everything and helping me!”
“Where has this sharpener been? Very easy to setup after watching manufacture’s YouTube video. I am sharpening blades for my 60″ JD and 21″ push mower. I have also been bugging the neighbors to let me sharpen their blades because this sharpener is so fun to use. The second setting is perfect for mulching blade. I am using a solid stone in my grinder instead of the flap wheel. I like the flatter results. The flap wheel tends to radius the cutting edge. Try both and see what works best for you. Good luck and happy sharpening.”
“The Model 5000 (and I’m sure the 5002) is made of high quality durable materials and superbly manufactured with its engineering well thought out. Not only is it simple and intuitive to use, but it has some ‘built in’ capabilities (such as reversing the bushing to handle future needs that may arise for a small number of users like me. … The mounting bracket is elegant in its simplicity and exemplifies the thought that has gone into the overall design. It enables the user to pick the mounting position that is best for them – and easily change it if necessary: very well thought out. The Model 5000 is very easy to setup and use: I was able to sharpen and perfectly balance my first set of blades in very little time …”
