SHARPAL Pocket Knife Sharpener & Garden Tool Sharpener, Sharpening Straight and Serrated Knives, Lawn Mower Blade, Axe, Pruners, Shears, Scissors, Combo Gift Pack w/Greeting Card

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've never been able to get a good edge on my pocket knife with a whetstone. I've tried the Sharpal type of sharpener with two previous tools. I really like the features, particularly the fishhook and serrated edge file. Just follow the directions and use a light hand as when you get your knife initially sharp it only takes a few strokes to restore an edge on my Case knives. I haven't used the fire starter yet. I have bought two extras for friends.Sharpener quality:Well designed and useful.Tool size:Handles well.Angle guide:Consistently performs when used properly. Follow the directions.Compactness:Lots of features in a handy package.Safety:When used properly it is safe to use.Works well:Yes, it works well and is a nice gift, in my opinion.

This is an easy to use, high value knife sharpener. Fits in your pocket or toolbox, it will smooth the dullest, knicked up edge with a Carbide stone and then smooth it to high sharpness with a Ceramic stone. Quick and easy!

I’ve sharpened all my blades with this. It is very compact and very easy to use. It’s not heavy, and it is good at sharpening blades. It’s pretty durable (surprisingly) and the grip isn’t bad either. There are 2 sharpening options, the metal or the other option. The only thing I don’t like is that the metal option kinda does a rough job with the blade. It’s not a pretty finish. It does the job and makes it sharp, very sharp, but it’s not a pretty or smooth finish. Not smooth at all, in fact, after using this sharpener my blade kinda catches onto cloth. Again, it does its job very nicely. And it’s good for the price. If you really want what’s best for your blades though, you might want to use stones or something else. This does not give a very smooth finish.

This is a perfect little sharpener to keep in your knife drawer.It puts a perfectly respectable edge on my all kitchen blades as well as my EDC.I use this before giving my knives their final edge on a japanese wet stone.I plan to grab another so I can keep this one in my kitchen and have one to carry or keep in my truck.

I am impressed with the knife sharpening this tool provides. I sharpened an old Buck knife i found many years ago and couldn’t believe how fast it put a decent edge on that blade. The fire starting ferro rod works great. Once you scrape through the Black protective coating you will be able to generate nice hot embers that will have your fire started in no time. Took me 4 strikes to start a fire with some dry grass and wood shavings i made with my knife and a dry piece of pine.The whistle is VERY loud and very high pitched. sure to grab attention.I tryed the tapered sharpener on a couple old fish hooks. not perfect, but it does a decent job of putting a sharp point on a dulled or damaged hook. i tryed it on the serrated blade on a hunting knife and didn’t care for the way it performed. seems to be a little to aggressive in my opinion. I would say it’s fine in an emergency when perfect isn’t an option.For the price i can highly recommend this great little tool. I’d pay double and still be satisfied.

A great portable pocket knife sharpener with six features including a fire starter. I’m glad I purchased this tool as it’s well made, functional and fairly priced.
