Ratings & Reviews for Work Sharp Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener

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!

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!
