 Handy sharpening set February 8, 2009

This set is a really handy set for the outdoorsman. It is small, lightweight, well-made, and has features that are perfect for keeping your items sharp in the field. The stones are stored into the handle until needed saving space in your pack, tacklebox, or glovebox. The stones snap in securely and after several months of use the halves still snap together securely. The handle has a rubberized coating for a better grip and has a lanyard hole so you can hang it from your pack or neck. The surfaces are perfect for a wide variety of sharpening options. The majority of the surface is a perforated diamond surface to help prevent clogging, but it has a small solid area for sharpening small items & blades that may get hung up in the holes. There is also a fishhook sharpening slot. These features are on both sides. The "coarse" side is very aggressive, which you probably won't use much around the house, but is perfect for knives and tools that get hard use outdoors and lose their edge. The "fine" side puts a very nice edge on your items that is more than suitable for most cutting needs. It is also a perfect size that gives enough surface for sharpening even large knives & tools, but not too large to make it difficult to carry. Even after months of use, this set still works great. For an all-in-one compact system, it's perfect.
One point some folks need to know, if you plan on just using this to keep kitchen knives sharp, this may not be the best one to buy. The coarse side is very coarse, so if you keep your knives reasonably sharp, you will probably never use it. You would be better served getting a set of stones that are "Fine" and "Very Fine" since those will keep household knives razor sharp.
For an all-in-one sharpening set for the outdoor sportsman, this can't be beat!

What else is there to say? I've had this particular one for years and have used it quite regularly on my knife and many other blades. The most impressive would be that I have for years now, sharpened box cutter style blades to extend their life. To put it into perspective the fact I can put an almost scalpel like edge to high carbon steel for years; with the same tool and stay nearly as good as new without deforming is amazing. I also like the small solid spot for sharpening small things like ΒΌ chisels or one of the various exacto knife tips. The small grove in it is perfect for sharpening fish hooks and stitching needles.
Diamond stones are the only way to go if your not a traditionalist.

Pros: easy to store, very light weight, easy to clean, wet and dry sharpener, definitely sharpens your knives very well.
Cons: Ummm...still thinking of one.
Make it easy to use it any time. Especially when I'm bored.
Easy to use Tool Sharpener. December 2, 2009
Roger Voelker
Price was good. Reviews excellent. Tired of using stone whetstones, file, and leather strap. Knew there had to be a quicker and easier way to have a working edge.
Received this in the mail and sharpened the kitchen knives and scissors. Diamond has a hardness of 10: hardest natural substance known to man. I drew the cutting edge away from me so that the diamond surface abraded the metal in the direction of the edge of the knife. My father used to do it the other way, but this seems to work better for me. The edge of the knife faces me and I pull the blade away from me and drag it across the diamond sharpening stone. The metal dust quickly fills the depressions. I gently tap the stone against a Bounty Towel and the dust is seen on the towel as a dark stain. Blade is sharp in under a minute. Takes up little room. I keep it in the kitchen.
Sharpens Very Well December 8, 2009
Johnny P. (Los Angeles, CA)
Bought a knife along with this handheld sharpening stone so I can maintain it sharp and well. So far it has done exactly what I have asked from it. Gets the job done quickly within about 2 minutes depending on how dull your blade is. If it isn't very dull all you need is about 20-25 strokes on both sides of the blade on the fine side of the stone. If your knife is very dull than it would take about 20-30 strokes on the coarse side. Great Product for Great Price, nuff said
