Who We Are

DAREX Sharpeners are built by hard-working Americans at our local business in Medford, Oregon. We have been creating premium sharpening tools right here in the US for over 50 years.

Founded in Chicago in 1973, our company was built on the core values of honesty, integrity, respect and enjoying what we do. From those humble beginning, we have grown, proudly continuing a tradition of American innovation. Starting with our first sharpener, the DAREX M1, our entire product line has been designed, engineered, and tested to the highest standards. the basic values we started with remain vibrantly alive at the forefront of our business decisions.

We remain committed to designing, building, quality control and shipping out products right here in Medford, Oregon, with our American workforce. We could deliver cheaper products to you, but then we couldn’t deliver the value and service you and we have come to expect.

You get what you pay for. DAREX Sharpeners are a premium tool that will last. If you call us for customer service, you will speak to someone at our manufacturing facility who knows our products and is committed to ensuring your satisfaction. We know you need your tools to work as hard as you do, so we have designed them to stand up to the rigors of daily use.

Tools are an investment. We make our sharpeners so that you can get the most value out of your investment, and you purchase of this new tool is also an investment in hard-working Americans. Thank you for your trust in us and our products.

What We Do

We are proud to design and assemble our tools in the USA. You work hard for your money, and your tools are an investment. We are dedicated to creating quality tools with quality components and backing them with the best customer service you’ll never need.

We design, engineer, and calibrate our sharpening machines all under one roof – also shared by our in-house customer service, sales, and admin teams. We source as many components from North American manufacturers as we can, and insist our over-sea suppliers meet stringent quality control metrics and share in our practice of creating a great workplace for their employees.

What we make is as important as where we make it. Southern Oregon is a beautiful place to live and work, and we strive to do our part in our community to reduce waste.

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.”

The tools we make support this mantra and as a company we believe in eliminating waste and using our resources, respectfully to their full potential. With that, we recycle as much of our waste as possible including; corrugated, glass, aluminum, steel, other metals, and plastics.
