Quick and Handy For Most Knife Blades4
No one angle is ideal for all blades and all types of work, but this little sharpener delivers a good edge suitable for most work. For a really fine edge, I still prefer the traditional flat stones as I have more individualized control of the angle I'm sharpening at.
Despite that preference, I found the bevel created by this sharpener excellent for plain edge kitchen knives and very good for most other knives. This tool does the job quickly and efficiently. I had a collection of dull kitchen knives in a variety if different steel types and in the time it normally takes to sharpen two blades on my flat stones, I had them all sharpened. It also did a great job on a machete I use for garden work.
Using the device is simplicity itself. Stand the sharpener on edge and pull the blade through the Coarse side five to six times. Be carful when the blade come out of the guide not to drop the blade on your exposed fingers! Repeat the process if not satisfied with the edge, When you have a nice edge, flip the sharpener over and draw the blade through the Fine slot another five or six strokes. That's it! For really large blades, clamp the sharpener in a vise and draw the blade through. This minimizes the chances of cutting yourself.
Overall 3½ out of 5 and I'll give an extra half point for simplicity and ease of use.
Smith's 2-step sharpener3
I purchased this sharpener in the sporting goods department at Wal-Mart for $2.56. It is convenient and does a very good job at sharpening fine-edge knives.
Puts a Sharp Edge on Any BLade5
This product will put a quick edge on any knife, large or small. Simply draw the angled (paired) sharpening stones over your blade, and presto - you have an edge, and a pretty good one too. Best of all, the sharpener is very portable, weighs less than nothing, and fits into backpacks, fishing tackle boxes, hunting fanny pack, etc. with no added weight or bulk.
The edge that this sharpener puts on a blade is a great starting point for further honing of the blade to razor sharpness if desired.
I have several of these sharpeners. The only drawback is that the sharpening stones wear out after perhaps 6 - 10 sharpenings. But under 5 bucks a unit, this is a bargain.
