Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener

Works perfectly, so far sharpened three knives since I have had it and it is perfect at doing the job.

I bought this spruce, little instrument in June 2011. At two years old, and used almost every time I use my kitchen knives, it is safe to say that this is a very durable piece of equipment and worthy of a five-star rating from me without any equivocations. I liked the first one so much that I bought another one. I keep one around my neck on a lanyard when I go on outdoor outings; hunting, camping, rambling, trekking etc. And I keep the other on my kitchen worktop, handy for sharpening my Santokus and other culinary blades in my kitchen collection. Both are still in perfect working condition and have retained their nifty appearance as well. The diamond rods on both sharpeners still snap into place in the opened position and in the closed position as faultlessly as they did when they were new. They keep all of my knives very sharp. I highly recommend this neat, effective, little tool.

This is a light and effective gizmo for keeping a knife in trim - but would not advise it for putting the first sharpening adge on as a stone (ideally a water stone) is better for this. Very handy however for an occasional touch-up. A light force recommended as if your edge is made of anything other than the best steel the v-shapes may find out imperfections and dig in creating a nick. The diamond coated rod is great for anything serrated like a dull bread knife for example.

bought as replacement for my previous knife sharpener. This is a great tool. Nice and small, fits in any kit. Sharpens any and all blades and is perfect for my hook blade for box opening. Great little device that I would highly recommend.

I got this in the post very quickly and after viewing on You tube how best to use it gave it a try, This is a very good Knife Sharpener very easy to use and giving Knifes sharpened by it a very Sharp edge, which is Great for use in the Kitchen preparing different varieties of food. It also has a Diamond Sharpener that really helps finishing off the Sharpening process to get a very sharp lasting edge, This is well worth the money I paid for it.

I bought this hoping to recapture the edge on my Swiss Army Knife. It is sharp but I don't think anything will ever restore the knife back to the Inox edge it had when I bought it. Also it would be handy if one could purchase replacement ceramics.

This thing seems a bit cheap feeling at first glance, however using it, it feels well made, and does an excellent job of removing a dull edge and bringing a knife back to life. Very handy little thing to have and takes up virtually no space at all.

I have taken up whittling and have quickly learned how important it is to have a really sharp knife all the time. By drawing my opinel knife through the carbide and then ceramic half a dozen times each, I can restore the edge to super sharp effectiveness instantly. The bevel is pretty much foolproof and this neat little tool is so easy to use. I've strung it with a leather braid so I don't mislay it and it's always to hand when I'm working. I haven't tried the fold out round sharpener part yet, but have just got a crook knife, so that will be useful I hope.

Sharpens well

Il prodotto è ben fatto, ho affilato alcuni coltelli di cui uno aveva la lama "mozzicata" in alcuni punti, adesso sono quasi nuovi e tagliano molto bene. ho provato ad affilare una lama in ceramica.... non credo sia idoneo a questo scopo anche se in una resensione veniva consigliato anche per questo. E' molto piccolo, idoneo per tenerlo in tasca, un po scomodo quando si utilizza con oggetti grandi.... Comunque funziona bene!

Very nice pocket knife sharpener! The instructions are very clear and helpful, and I was able to sharpen my very dull pocket knife. I'm pleasantly surprised how small and portable it is, and it can easily put it in my pocket with my knife together. I definitely recommend this for on the go!

Affûtage impeccable. Se glisse dans une poche, idéal pour les sorties en randonnée.

This is my second Smithy sharpener. I keep one in my backpack, this one i keep in my pocket when working in the garden. It's a good tool to do a quick sharpening of small pocket knives. ps : the keychain is not included.
