Great on the go knife sharpener

I have several knife sharpeners for home use but I needed one that I could use in the field, at the lake or while camping. This sharpener was the perfect size. I had trouble trying to get the product out of the packaging but finally I was able to cut it open with a pair of scissors. Also the instructions that came with it were not that informative. But after watching a couple of videos it was easy to sharpen any type of knife, fishing hooks, arrowheads and scissors. The guides on each side of t...

Handy little sharpener!

Nice and compact, has different surfaces for the different stages of the sharpening process and even gives you the ability to sharpen hooks and serrated knife edges, also includes a leather strop to finish the edge to perfection

Works well with the proper technique

Work Sharp pocket sharpener is a small, portable all purpose guided sharpening tool about the size of a large hunting knife. The convenient size is a real plus for carrying or storing with camping gear or RV. The size can also be a disadvantage to some degree insomuch that it's not great for larger knives but to a satisfactory job on smaller tools and implements. The diamond sharpening pads are graded from coarse to fine, with a ceramic finishing stone and even a leather strop. The small ramps o...

OK for Rough Sharpening

The idea seems better than the actual functioning. Two grades of diamond surface, sharpening and honing, plus a long ceramic rod for honing and a shorter and thinner ceramic rod for serrated blades. There's also a leather strop. It sharpens ok; nothing special. It worked best on a hatchet; it put a decent edge on that. But for knives where you want a blade that's really sharp, the results were very mediocre. With a kitchen knife, you'll always wind up finishing it off with a steel. A much less ...

A very handy tool for inside and/or outside use

The tool is actually better than I expected as the ceramic rod is useful for sharpening our Japanese knives where steel sharpeners are not recommended. The ability to remove the two main sharpening surfaces and flip those around for storage is handy as it will protect the sharpening surfaces from damage should you carry in a backpack or pouch for outside use. Did a great job sharpening a German Chef's knife, a pocket folding knife, some scissors and an axe and I could see it being use on my mo...

Compact & Convenient

Really solid field sharpener that is compact and easy to pack up. Doesn’t take up much room in your pack at all. Has a lot of options for different types of blades. Pretty much all in one for a quick sharpen while out camping. Really convenient.

Handy & Versatile Travel Sharpener

Worksharp packed a lot of features into this portable sharpener. There are corse and fine diamond plates and a helpful 20 degree guide is built into each end and on both sides. The ceramic bar rotates via a knob on the top between corse, fine, and a fishhook feature. The diamond plates are held on by a magnet but removable (be sure you check, the instructions are inside the sharpener under the plate). A small leather stop is also included on one side if you really want a polished edge. Finally, ...

Handy little field sharpener

Nice tool to have with you out in the field ! Sharpens your knife, axe, scissors, even fish hooks ! I tried it out on an old dull knife I had in my workshop. Iit returned it back to a razor sharp cutting device ! Works even on serated blades. Great for hunting and fishing trips. Takes up very lttle room in your pack. Works nice on keeping your axe sharp. Built in angle guides make sharpening easy !. Even has a leather finishing strap on it's side. Lift open the diamond abrasive plates to acce...

The only sharpening tool you'll ever need

This is a fantastic "all in one" sharpening tool that anyone can use. Start out on the course 20* side, 5-10 strokes but keep the knife tip on the tool, switch to the other direction the same amount of strokes. Flip over to the fine 20* side and repeat. Light pressure is all that's needed. Keeping the knife tip on the tool helps prevent a dull tip. If you've kept the knife at the 20* angle, your knife should be sharp. Finish the edge with the ceramic stick, again light pressure and maintain the ...

Handy Tool to Keep Things Sharp-Small & Compact

Bottom Line this is a handy tool to have because a dull knife is not good at all. I never knew how to sharpen a serrated edge knife until now. The instruction are under the diamond cut side which is held on by a magnet! This little tool does sharpens everything I could find around the shop for sure. Don't forget those kitchen knives too! I am keeping this tool in my to-go tool bag and will grab another for the shop! It has the angle already on the tool itself which helped me keep things straight...

Handy compact sharpening tool

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this sharpening device worked. My outdoor knife was pretty dull and after a few passes on this tool, it cut nicely. The tool contains everything that you need to get a reasonably sharp edge on even the dullest tools. It has both coarse and fine diamond surfaces, a ceramic polishing rod AND even a leather strop. There are smalI angle guides at the ends of the diamond surfaces. I was a little puzzled by how to use this tool at first and the package state...

Great starter and travel sharpener

I'm really liking this sharpener. It is compact but chock full of features. There is a coarse plate on one side, then fine on the other. The ceramic rod for honing has 3 positions - coarse, fine, and one for fish hooks. The small ceramic rod on the end is for honing serrated blades, and there is a leather strop on the bottom. I got this for smaller pocket and utility knives but it can be used for tool blades as well. The angle guides are super-helpful making this a great first sharpener. ...

Quality sharpener

When I first opened up the package and took the sharpener out , I was a little confused about the instructions on how to use it. Then I went to the website and watched a video on how to do it “right”. Each side has a sharpening plate, one course and the other fine. They are held by a magnet. A very strong magnet. I noticed a few warnings and cautions labels on being careful when using the sharpener. I followed the instructions while sharpening my pocket knife and it did an excellent job. My fing...

A nice utility sharpener that has unique features

I used it the first time and I had to figure out how to use it. I read the instructions, but actually using the product was the way I found out best how it used best to sharpen blades. The first thing is not to hold it in your palm. Holding it this way you may cut your hand since your hand would be in the way. You hold it at the end with black markings with your thumb and index finger. The second thing I noticed is it is better to place the other end on a solid surface as a countertop. The re...

Versatile sharpener in a compact size

The Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener is a compact tool packed with quality features. At just under 7 inches long, it doesn't take up much space in a glove box, tool bag, or backpack, making it a versatile sharpener to take where ever it is needed. The sharpener has angle guides at the ends of the abrasive plates to ensure a proper angle. It has two diamond abrasive plates (fine and coarse), a ceramic honing rod (with fine, coarse, and fish hook sharpening surfaces), a leather strop for polishin...

Great little took, easy to use.

Great compact tool. The tool comes with the means to do a complete sharpening of your knife, scissors or even fish hooks. The instructions are included and are stored within the handle of the tool. It was easy to sharpen my knife following the instructions. Before sharpening, the knife wouldn't cut a single piece of paper. After sharpening with this took, it sliced the paper with ease. It's small enough to put in your gear bag. It's lightweight, but capable of putting a good edge on your ...

Well designed tool that can sharpen multiple items

Good quality sharpener with multiple pieces and connections to sharpen knives, scissors, arrowheads, axes, serrated, and more. The tool is conveniently packed together with removable coarse and fine surfaces that can be taken off to store the instructions or a small piece of flint or oil. The leather strop needs to be oiled. The guide angles on each side tell you the right angle to hold the blade to sharpen. It also fits nicely in the toolbox or glove compartment. The company says it is TSA frie...

This is your All In One of Sharpeners

I am so excited about this product from Work Sharp sharpeners. This is the guided field Sharpener and I don't think there is anything out there it won't sharpen. It is so handy and versatile
