Company details
Written by the company
Jende Industries is currently an international company with facilities in the US, Australia, Malaysia, and Taiwan. Ironically, we had no intentions of becoming a sharpening-based company. But as fate would have it, in 1999 we started sharpening (poorly) and fell into the rabbit hole - deeply. Fast forward after several years of trial and a whole lot of error, and Jende Industries was started in 2004 with a single product - the Jende Reed Knife. The name and the knife quickly became associated with sharpness and quality in the world of oboe, bassoon, and clarinet. From there we branched out into different realms of sharpeningdom, including kitchen knives, woodworking, scissors, and straight razors; and despite getting kicked off all the hip forums and discussion lists of the day, started becoming known as a respectable source of sharpening knowledge and equipment.

Tom is one of the best guys you can do…
Tom is one of the best guys you can do business with. He is very knowledgeable and informative. He does not ever try to over sell you on anything. He answers your questions and gives suggestion on what you’re looking for. Jendes products are top quality as well.

Yes, Tom has mastered the art of the lie he can convince you that you're a chicken, and he always suggests you transfer all your funds to Jende accounts in full. :)

The company is doing all they can…
The company is doing as much as they can. I found that the acetylene nut on the torch set was bad. I contacted them and with out questioning me they sent another torch set. Unfortunately it was bad also. So I bout a nut from a different supplier and installed it. Now I have one working torch set.

I've been using Jende for many years
I've been using Jende for many years. On more than one occasion they had a product I needed when I could not find it elsewhere. They were also very helpful and knowledgeable about products when I had questions. They have been a step or two above other vendors who are not as knowledgeable about products and sharpening in general. The prices are competitive. Great consumer oriented place to shop.

Yes, we can instruct you on the back of a ceramic mug technique or the car window, We are so awesome it really is hard being us.
We should take a few moments to just really get into how freakin awesome we really are but we fear this is not long enough and you really don't feel like reading a war and peace size post. :)

We apologize and will work harder to make sure we steal items from your box before it ships next time. And we will for sure try to offend you some way so you can complain.
It hurts us deeply to feel like we have failed you in this :)

diamond sharping sheets are best system I have used
Products are really good. I like the diamond sharping sheets. However the shipping to Germany means I have to go to the customs office to import the product.

So do you feel firstborn, livers and kidneys are expensive? Can we ask you a question? How much did any of those cost you to make??? Right so tell me again how expensive was it really?
You can function on one kidney.
Our more pricy items are an arm and a leg (literally) and at times we will take Cornias, hearts, lungs.
As you can see we are very flexible.

I would def recommend Jende Industries
I would def recommend Jende Industries, I had a good experience ordering from them and there products are actually good. I bought the kangaroo strops and the diamond emulsions, the emulsions are not that cheap crap like chef knives to go has. I also purchased some spyderco stones for my KME . Overall they are top notch with fast shipping and good communication.👍

Yeah he likes to babble and never makes any sense, We always find Tom is very helpful when we can not get to sleep and are trying to kick an addiction to sleeping pills. That my friend is where Tom thrives... Put you to sleep like a baby listening to him go on.
