9" Ultra-Tek Sharpener, 600-Grit Diamond-Coated Oval Shaft, Portable Knife Sharpener, Compact Design, Handheld Sharpening Tool for EDC, Outdoor, and Pocket Knives

Honestly this is kind of the best you can get for a pocket sharpener. 600 grit isn't idea for ultra fast rough work. If you had a blunt edge and need something to get you to working edge fast, i would want a very coarse 320 grit or even 220 grit. However if you want to keep your edge serviceable this is kind of perfect. 600 grit is fine enough to give you a keen edge, rough enough to do a little profiling if you are desperate. Simple system, nothing really to go wrong, quite durable and easy to pocket or toss in a field bag, so reasonably priced its not heartbreaking if you lose it. You do need to learn to sharpen though, this is totally unguided, but with a little practice and fairly steady hands you should have no issues getting at least a working edge. This sharpener alone is very capable of shaving sharp edges on well heat treated steel. If you are consistent you can easy do light passes alternating sides and break that burr off, negating the need for a strop, but a strop would be a good addition. Ultimately, this is the best one step pocket sharpener I have come across. it can handle most of your sharpening needs. I could be satisfied with this being my only sharpener if it came down to it. I definitely recommend.

This as a well engineered sharpener. Screws into the protective cover when not in use, so it stays put. It’s just the right size for sharpening my EDC knives and it works like a champ. The oval shaped sharpener makes it easier to maintain a good angle, and in just a few passes my knives are as sharp as the day I got em, if not sharper. I love the portability. Easily fits a tackle box, glove compartment or pocket. I use it often and I don’t see any signs of wear on it.

I really like this sharpener. It works well on my curvy Ken Onion blades, as well as straight blades. I also use it on my kitchen knives to great affect. It's easy to use, the knurled grip doesn't slip. Typically, I can get a nice edge pretty fast. I wouldn't use it on a super dull blade, but for maintenance, this thing is great. I really like the self storing feature and compactness for if I do need to put it in a pack sometime. It feels very solid in both the stowed and open positions. Recommend.

This is definitely one of the better knife sharpeners that I've had, even better than my stone set. The diamond coating on this makes the sharpening process extremely quick if you get the angle right. There's no guide or manual or really anything that comes with this to tell you how to use it so make sure to consult the guide that (hopefully) came with your knife to determine the proper angle. The only negative is the length of the sharpening surface. It's a bit short, which makes it only slightly difficult to sharpen longer blades. I found my 3 3/8th inch ( Kershaw Ken Onion Tactical Blur Folding Knife with Speed Safe ) blade even a little awkward to sharpen on this, but did get the hang of it. If the sharpening surface were a little longer, this would be THE perfect sharpener. Even still, it's definitely the best one I've used.

Best sharpener I've owned. It keeps my Kershaw knives and home steak knives extremely sharp.

I have several sharpening methods, and own two other diamond stone gadgets. This is a very clever system, and frankly had it not been for a respected guide and the Kershaw brand, I'd have been too skeptical to buy this. But I wanted something for remote field work, and my diamonds stones are just too big, so I decided to try it. Wow. It does a brillaint job of sharpening. I've tried on on over a dozen different knives now and they all took an edge with little fuss. Perhaps it's the oval shape of the stone, or mayb it's becuase I'm usded to using a steel, but for whatever reason, I seem to get a respectable edge with out a great deal of discipline in the stone-to-blade angle. Obviously you can'it just ignore the angle, but it's easy to be in the "ok zone". With just a little care, I can get to "scary sharp" and without unpacking the stones, sharpening fluids... So, this is easy, cheap, and excellent. Almost too good to be true, but it is true... for me at least

Great sharpener

This sharpens knives, scissors, anything I want to slice things up with pretty well. Once I'm done sharpening stuff, its easily put away pulling it apart and sliding the sharpening end back into the handle. I've used this a dozen times now and there isn't a dull knife or scissors in the house. Pros: Sharpens blades, hide it easily protective sleeve (cap back into the handle) from ruining your sharpener on things you don't want to sharpen like your phone or keys (ok, maybe you want to sharpen your keys) handle is textured and doesn't just slide in grip. fits both right and left handed people Cons: Doesn't sharpen blades by itself. No matter how much I glare at it. Plastic handle, feels like plastic If anyone is having any trouble with this device, I suggest watching some videos of how to pull a cap off a pen and then replacing that cap on to the end of the pen. It can be tricky but once you figure out how to set up your sharpener you can get to sharpening all your slicing tools. Overall, I loved this product for how easy it is to sharpen stuff and then put back into my pocket or backpack for sharpening more stuff later.

The Kershaw Diamond Sharpener is excellent, and the supplier met the challenge.

This is a great product for having a compact, light weigh sharpening hone for my daypack. It works very well for field sharpening on the fly, but does not replace a good sharpening system once you get home. It certainly does what I bought it for.

Quick delivery. Accurate description.
