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.

Thanks... Must have been some other company, as we try to avoid any communication at all cost once we have your money and always ship it when the feeling moves us (Not often) :) Glad you are happy!
Fantastic professional grade products.

Thank you Lawrence, Are you sure you ordered from us? I mean Professional just does not describe any of us at Jende and our products are like they were made by a blind mentally challenged child at camp..... Well, come to think about it that pretty much describes us... ok nevermind. Thanks :)

Thank you, Shipping is getting better as we now decided to start actually sending items out after you paid for it, instead of just keeping all your money and resale the item 4 more times! :)
Hard to catch
Hard to catch, when they post to store, these ultra fine Spyderco KME stones fly of the virtual shelves. Otherwise, Jende has the best selection of kme stones and strops and compounds for the DIY sharpeners. Spend loads of money with Jende Industries.

Agree those damn stones are always gone before we have them restocked. As for your money... We think you are holding out on us and still have money for food and gas and apparently internet, this is unacceptable you need to place another order ASAP!
Reply from Jende Industries
Thank you, and we hope it brings you many more years of use in your kitchen, murdering, dismembering or whatever else you might use it for.
Love the Reed Knife & Sharpening Tool!
I heard about Jende Oboe reed knives via a friend whose opinion I trust. I totally love my knife and the clever, easy to carry, light sharpening tool. The knife keeps its edge and is so easy to sharpen. Thank You so much for making such wonderful tools!

Excellent customer service
I had the misfortune of placing an order during a server upgrade of some sort, so I didn't receive any automated communications regarding the order. However, upon reaching out to Jende they responded very quickly and provided the tracking number for my package. It arrived in a timely manner, and I am very pleased with the products. Will definitely be ordering again!

I was shopping for a good reed knife and came accross Jende. Chris Tayler was out of town, in Taiwan actually, but still took the time to discuss the appropriate knife and give me an overview of the company. Chris represented the company with such professionalism that I’ll never go anywhere else and I’ll never forget the level of care I received from him. Also, I’ve had the knife for quite some time now and I absolutely love it. I still haven’t had to sharpen it!

Thank you, it is very off character of Chris Taylor. he is the resident jerk for the company, if you need to be insulted or just bashed Chris is our guy!
We are glad you had an awesome experience, we will be sure to beat Chris severely for this misstep of his. :)
Tom, of Jende Industries, is a sharpening wizard
Tom is a sharpening wizard. His knowledge of his products and the art of sharpening is second to none. It’s amazing how he manages to ship from Taiwan and have things arrive stateside quicker than any of his competors I’ve tried who are actually in the states.

Well if by Wizard you mean how your $300 knife and Tom disappear as soon as you hand it to him then yes he is a wizard, it is truly magical!
I was never able to sharpen this knife
I was never able to sharpen this knife to my standards - it didn’t seem sharp when I got it and didn’t seem sharp after I paid the dealer I bought it from to sharpen it. I found a friend who was a Jende fan and gave it to him.

The issue is with some people who are not able to sharpen correctly, then this is a common problem. Those who are die-hard fans love it because of the steel we use and the hardening process we do gives a lasting edge, if sharpened correctly, that will outlast any of the competition out there.
