This small sharpening set is amazing. I have never been good at sharpening my knives, but after a day with this sharpener I have the best edge ever on my 2 carry knives. The angle of the guides make the process simple and the available grits and ceramic rods are all that is needed to product a razor sharp edge. Great purchase.

I would have given it a higher rating except for the size. I think it could have been somewhat larger and still been great for backpacking and camping. It does exactly like it says, the sharpening areas are great and you have several different grits to choose from, the leather strop area needs to be larger although it will work. Overall it is a great tool to put in your backpack, bug out bag, fishing tackle, hunting gear or whatever else you think of. I will more than likely order another one for a spare.

Very easy to use for maintaining razor sharp edges on knives, machetes, hatchets and other blades. Its small enough to toss in the backpack for quick touch ups in the field. It has become my go to sharpening system for all my knives. Great build quality. Edge guides are holding up very well.

angle guides helped alot on my folders gets me to a razor edge in just a few passes. The coarse stone is a bit too coarse for any maintenance but could put an edge, or entirely re-profile a very dull knife (YMMV). To maintain my knives i just use the fine grit and ceramic rods and finish with the strop, I rarely use the coarse. overall a very good field sharpener ill probably buy another if I break this one or I loose it.

So, I just received this in the mail, and right away I was impressed the Finger 'Friendly' recess in the Holding area; something that I personally find lacking in other Sharpeners. Well, I just took 2 Knives -one a Folder and the Other, a Fixed blade. And while I have have used 'Better'* sharpeners; I have Not had one of this quality and ease of use. This is [[Well]] worth the $30/Shipped that I paid. This is a quick -and I mean 3 minute Quick- 5-Stage Sharpener, that took my some-what dull blades, and turned them into Razors. No Exaggeration whatsoever. As a some-what expert at sharpening knives, I found this to be a sharpener that takes all the Guess Work out of getting the Correct angle (Edge) on a Blade Quickly, while sharpening; and would be an Excellent sharpener for a BOB or Primary Gear bag, Tackle Box, or Hunting Pack. As well as something to give to others who are less experienced, or even New to sharpening their own blades. I rate this 9/10; AND THE REASON IT DOESN'T GET A 10, is because it is just a 'Tad' too large. It measures 6 7/8" long, and that is about an inch too long for my liking; since it will not fit n the Stone Compartment of my USMC Fixed Blade Tactical. lol (*By 'Better', I mean Sharpeners that cannot be taken with you. Such as Wheel Sharpeners, Electric Sharpeners, and or Sharpeners that are Single Mode style and generally incapable of covering so many different Functions, such as this one.)Read full review
