Ratings & Reviews for Work Sharp Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener

Great Addition to Any Tool Bag!

This knife sharpener is a bit smaller than I expected but it works beautifully. I have a utility knife that I carry daily for work, it had begun to get dull and was harder to use. This sharpener worked great to bring life back to my favorite tool. This sharpener is light weight, easy to carry, easy to use, and the instructions are clear. Anyone who carries a utility knife for work needs this sharpener, it will slip easily into a pocket or tool bag.

A Bargain/Multi-Purpose Sharpener

Not so keen on two sharpeners. Do not feel they were any different with exception the smaller size (width) made it easier to sharpen knives. One aspect I liked very much was the steel which I used on scissors, small pruning blade, and large pruning blade (sharpening individually each tooth). The later and the tool's price makes the tool a bargain.

Pocket Sharpener

The Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener is very handy addition to the kitchen tool drawer or workshop. Am able to put in my pocket, very handy easy to use tool from Work Sharp.

Sharpens well, too small to feel safe

The sharpener does a great job with knives. It’s small so it would fit in a tackle box or other camping gear. The diamond crusted sharpener sticks out of the device and doesn’t fold in. This means no matter where you take it there will be a puncture risk. Tackle box is therefore the best storage probably. I don’t particularly like how small it is. Feels like the hand holding the device is awfully close to the blade. Because of the pointy diamond sharpener piece you also can’t lay it flat on a su...

Great and compact

This is a great compact sharpener with multiples functions. Was able to sharpen my knife with ease and then I was able to fold it up and out it in my pocket. Great for camping trips.

Good sharpener for a toolbox.

It is an effective tool to sharpen knives, pruners, serrated knives. We tried all three. Initially it did not seem to have made a difference. then we changed to high material take off mode and it certainly showed difference. For our test, we used a tested on a manila folder - before and after. Main issue appeared to be, how to hold it because of its small size. better-half thinks that it might be a good idea to wear gloves, at least initially. The sharpener is 3.5" x 1.5" x 0.75". It is made in ...

Basic Knife/Scissor Sharpener but so much more.

This sharper works like you'd expect. I sharped many knives in my house both straight and serrated. It worked great on both BUT it also comes with what looks like a spike that folds out of the way when not in use. This can be used to sharpen more difficult items. I used it to sharpen my dog nail clipper. I've had them for years and kept avoiding throwing them away because they were expensive. This worked great now its like they are brand new. Another feature is that you are able to adjust how mu...

To Make a Cut Above

This is a handy and compact sharpener. It covers all bases with the bulk sharpening stone and the ceramic hone section. I took a kitchen knife and brought it back to razor sharpness. It was simple to use and very accurate in the bevel angle for most knives. The addition of the needle sharpener was a definite plus. I am still not sure of the value of the red switch as it did not seem to make a difference in the function.

Easy to use

This is so easy to use and sharpens very rapidly. It is nice and small and can fit into my pocket or toolbox. The two sharpening sides helps with large or small knives.

Work Sharp Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener

The Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener is a great addition to have in your toolbox. It is very compact but does a lot! I really like the ability to move the little red lever, so I get a more aggressive material remover for larger or damaged blades. Having the carbide edge followed by the ceramic honing edge gives an incredibly sharp edge to knives. I have used the tapered diamond rod to sharpen my serrated knives and it too does a great job. I would definitely recommend this Work Sharp Sharpener.

Pocket sized sharpener

It's a handy little pocket sized sharpener, has a carbide blade, a ceramic then a diamond hone. Has a floating edge to help maintain proper alignment. Easy to use and sturdy well made.

Decent sharpener for us

This sharpener is neat with it's pivoting feature. We've used it a bit to see if it works well and the ceramic hone and convex carbide seem to be good but definitely got to break it in before seeing results.

Handy and easy to use!

This is a very handy and versatile sharpener! One of the best parts is the extensive fold out instructions printed on the back of the packaging which helps understand the best way to use each of the features of the sharpener. I highly recommend it!

Nice compact sharpener

I got this for quick touchups on kitchen and pocket knives. I like the size and will through it in when I go camping as well. It works pretty much as advertised. The carbide section has 2 settings for light and heavy removal depending on how bad out of shape your blade is. I have tried both a slightly dull and a really dull knife and this seems to work well. It takes several passes to clean up a bad edge, but it will get there. The ceramic hone does just what you expect, it polishes up the...

Handy!

I requested this knife sharpener as it’s smaller and requires less storage space, plus I camp a lot so this is perfect to bring along. Packaging came with clear directions on the outside but also you can go to their website and watch a very easy to use video. I sharpened two knives, a straight edge and a serrated bread knife, worked exceptionally well on both with little effort or time involved. I would suggest that a small carrying bag would have been a great addition but it’s still great witho...

Smaller IS Better

If the only thing you bought this tool for was the tapered rod for sharpening serrated blades or gut hooks, it would be well worth the price. This tool will stay in my pocket so I can keep my field knife sharp at all times. The slide on the top to do more aggressive or less agressive take off is genius. An excellent carry in your pocket tool 10/10
