Victorinox 4.3323-X1 Pocket Knife Sharpener Perfect Portable Solution for Sharpening All Your Straight Blades in Black 9.1 inches

Easy to use with a little practice. Works well on Victorinox blades as well as most other blades. The "channel" down the middle is for sharpening fishing hooks. Unlike most sharpeners, with this one, you use the blue stone part to do the majority of the sharpening and then use the V-notch part on the top to finish. Other sharpeners want you to drag the blade through the V-notch part first. This sharpener has a much better design than those and that is what allows you to use this one in this sequence. It is a great size and weight. It is very portable and not heavy at all. It is built very well. The cover caps protect it and can even be used as a handle while sharpening. For the price, it is absolutely unbeatable.

Very portable and light weight. Can sharpen a variety of blades. The main stone is thr perfect coarseness to bring blades back to a good edge. Very well designed and useful. There is also a center groove down the middle for fish hooks. Also makes a great gift.

Works good, it'll give you an edge but, make sure you get it wet because it will pick up the steel dust and get stuck in it like all whetstones

I'd give this 3 stars based on usability: it's awkward to hold, hard to get the angle right and the ceramics on the end are really hard to use.BUT, this thing is tiny, would fit in a shirt pocket, and actually sharpens quite well. So, I'd give it 5 stars for convenience and effectiveness.I'm not sorry I got it, just make sure you're really good on your angle before sharpening or you could ruin your edge.

perfect small sharpener for touching up an edge in the field - its not good for a main sharpener for home use but its small size and easy to use makes it great for throwing in a pack

Perfect size for my edc pouch. Works great, and easy to use. Great price for it, it is well made. Slim, and both sharpening areas work good.

My pocket knives are now as sharp as the day I got them! This works well on pocket and kitchen knives as well as scissors to give them a sufficient edge for everyday use. If you're looking for that ultra-fine "bragging rights" edge this will NOT do the job as it is too coarse. Getting that type of edge requires a bit more effort.This is the easiest sharpener I have used. As long as I consistently keep the correct angle and use light pressure I get satisfactory results. I could actually *feel* the blades getting sharper as I carved them against the sharpener.Cleanup is a snap. Just run it under the tap and scrub with your fingers. No oil to make a mess.Twine, rope, and zip-ties now part with ease. My wife is almost scared to touch her kitchen blades. Tomatoes now fear her.The only con is that there is not much of a guard to protect your hand when stroking towards yourself, so it takes more care. However, this is a pocket sharpener meant for quick jobs, so IMHO this minor safety concern does not trump the benefits.

Great piece of kit to quickly sharpen and give your knife a decent working edge. Biggest advantage is the size. With the thickness of two pencils side by side, and length slightly longer than a regular pen, this is easy to carry and add to any tool bag.Was easy to give my spyderco with vg10 steel to paper slicing sharpness. Would still recommend to strop after, but even without stropping it still gave it paper slicing sharpness. If it can sharpen vg10, it’ll definitely sharpen victorinox sak steel.Be aware this is with a knife that wasn’t super dull. For really abused knives you’d probably need a more robust knife sharpening system. But for edges that just need a quick touch up this has been a great tool.Quick tip: use the area of plastic where the ceramic stone is attached for a quick edge angle guide!
