Ratings & Reviews for Work Sharp Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener

Great little sharpener!

Nice little sharpener. Sharpened a few blades with it already and I'm very pleased with how it performed. Compact size is nice for being able to take it with you if needed.

Small, but mighty

WorkSharp products have always been solid quality. This one is no exception. Course and fine sharpening sections. Overall it's very straight forward. My only complaint is the overall size, which requires a grip pretty dang close to the blade. In my photos, I'm using a garbage knife for an example, but you can see the user's hands are extremely close the blade. It's a pocket sharpener, but in my opinion, is a victim of its own design.

Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener

The Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener Compact design with a diamond rod for to really get after a dull knife. I sharpens two ways and is priced low and affordable

Great, portable sharpener

This small sharpener is what I've been needing. A few quick swipes has revamped my kitchen and camping knives. I like that it can also handle serrated blades all in one minuscule package. I highly recommend for your kitchen drawer and camping box!

Great compact sharpener

I am loving this. I needed sharpener. I have sharpened a number of pairs of scissors already and it has done a great job. I like that it has three sharpening areas. You can even get into the groves with the tapered diamond rod. I can't wait to see how it does on other things. This is compact and has a lanyard hole so you can attach a lanyard or string to hang this up so you can get to it when needed. I would recommend this little sharpener that does big things.

Easy to use and handy

This knife sharpener works great super easy to use, i have a paring knife i like to use regularly but has gotten dull .. i used it on that and wow its super sharp now. Have to be careful not to cut myself

Great sharpener

Great sharpener, comes packaged well and with instructions. Well made and high quality. Only downside is that there are a lot of instructions and it could get confusing

Good small sharpener

I had been wanting a small sharpener to take camping, and I thought this fit the bill. The Pivot Plus is self contained and doesn’t need a case. It can bang around in my camper’s tool bag and it doesn’t get damaged. I also liked that it had a tapered diamond hone, which came in useful for sharpening a 20 year old tomato knife that had never been sharpened. I grabbed some tools from around the house and started sharpening. The carbide slot is fairly aggressive when unlocked, so only a couple sw...

Portable, Easy, Quick Sharpening Tool!

Love this sharpener! Even does fine and serrated edges! I have used this fro paring knives, pruners, hunting knives and more. Very versatile in a small package that fits into your pocket or pack or tool kit! Carbide and Diamond make for precision!

Does its job

This sharpener is great. My husband uses a pocket knife all day at work. This sharpener is small and portable. Best part is that it does a great job sharpening all sizes of knives.

Good working compact sharpener.

This sharpener fits a niche of being compact and easy to carry. The sharpening stones work well and provide a nice finish. This sharpener is best for quick touch ups. It’s size, while nice to carry, has minimal holding space for regular use.

Handy Sharpener That Really Works

A confession. I hate sharpening knives. But because my wife has been pressing me to sharpen her kitchen knives, I thought I would try something new—the Work Shop Work Sharp Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener because it promised to make this chore easy and fast. This is the real deal! It only takes a minute or two to put a razor-sharp edge on any knife. I was enjoying the process so much I sharpened her full set of knives, a pair of previously very dull pruning shears, and even my Leatherman all in a ve...

Works perfect for multi use tools and knives

Love this little sharpener. Not only does it work well on my tools such as wire cutters , it work perfect on my dull knives . I took it to a tomato after sharpening and no effort at all to slice it as shown in one of my pictures. The other feature that sets it apart is the stabilizer stick to make it hands free . The 3 year warranty also shows your getting a premier item .

Nice tool

This little sharpener is just the ticket. Compact and easily thrown in pocket to take anywhere. We’ve used it sharpen paring knives, slicing and chopping knives and even sharpened up our rather old, large bread knife.

Convenient Sharpener.

Just tested the "Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener" and was surprised at how easy it is to use. It sharpened my pocket knife, scissors and serrated carving knife as sharp as new. Very impressed with results. The instructions are very clear and concise making it so easy to use.

An effective tool for your sharpening needs.

The Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener is a very effective tool at a great price. Sharpening tools for many of us is often an afterthought. Yet, to get the best efficiency out of your tools, they need to have a fine edge. You can easily achieve this through the Pivot Plus tool. It is well engineered and very easy to use. The package contains detailed instructions on how to use the tool and get the maximum results in sharpening for different kinds of knives and tools.

Makes quick work of dull blades

I own some fancier, pricier, and more elaborate "sharpening systems", but I find them all too time consuming to even bother with. I was looking for simple that could help me restore an edge to my favorite EDC, and keep the edge on going forward. VG-10 steel is very hard to begin with, and I neglected the edge to the point of butter knife sharpness. Multiple attempts with my more elaborate systems just never seemed to remove enough material in a short enough amount of time, so the knife just s...

Great little knife sharpener

I have a Work Sharp bench sharpener, but I wanted to try this Pivot Plus hand held knife sharpener. I was pleasantly surprised! The package had instructions and the size was exactly what I was looking for. The options for the Convex-Carbide area to pivot is pretty neat! The honing is nice to finish the sharpening, but in my opinion, one of the best features is being able to sharpen my serrated knives. This is a really nice feature, having the diamond rod is pretty cool. I have a feeling I'l...

Nice little knife sharpener

The pivot plus knife sharpener is obviously very small and portable. I already owned a knife sharpener but I got this one because it claimed it would sharpen serrated knives which my current sharpener can not do. The pivot plus does sharpen serrated knives. On my pivot plus I do not see any difference when I use the pivot-response lock. On the back of the package it says you can watch a demo for this sharpener at their website. There are no demos on their website. I did reach out to a rep...

Work Sharp makes another great product!

The Work Sharp pivot plus knife sharpener has a lot of great qualities. Such as, a red button that allows coarse sharpening blades to float, a ceramic honing side, small enough to take anywhere and has the ability to sharpen serrated knives. Very useful!
