This sharpener works great! I'm amazed that such an inexpensive sharpener can do such a good job. Ok....maybe you can do better putting a razor edge on your $200 Spyderco, but for kitchen knives...it's perfect! Read more

Very easy to use and quickly sharpened my knife. Read more

This progressive set of three diamond files offers an acceptable, if not extraordinary, solution for routine sharpening needs. Designed to be used exclusively with water as their lubricant, the files are notably cleaner and far easier to work with than traditional oil stones. The diamond abrasive allows for fast material removal, making the process quicker; however, this speed comes at the cost of refinement, as they do not seem as effective in achieving the razor-sharp edge that a finer oil stone can provide. For convenience, the files feature color-coded handles to denote the three progressive grits, and the set comes neatly packaged in a clear, plastic sectioned storage pouch. Unfortunately, a major oversight is that the specific grit numbers (200, 400, 600) are not permanently marked on the handles, leaving users to rely solely on the colors for identification. Overall, this set performs adequately, sitting squarely in the "okay" category for general workshop or kitchen use. Read more

Just what I needed. Great files. Read more

This sharpener is good for small blades, ones of three or four inches. For longer blades, I'd use a wider sharpener, because it's not easy to maintain a consistent sharpening angle of this plate down the length of a long blade. However, this item works decently on jackknives. It also is very good to sharpen beveled X-Acto blades with--you just have to take care not to catch the point in the holes on the plate. The two arms of the handle don't quite meet evenly when the sharpener is open or closed, but that's a minor point and might not be the case with every sharpener. It doesn't affect the function. I've tried this sharpener on scissors, but similar to with a long knife, it's hard to keep one angle as you go down the scissors blades. It seems to sharpen the cut, just it leaves a bit of an uneven surface on the angled edge of the scissors blade. A wider plate would be better for scissors. I haven't used this sharpener long enough to assess its durability, but it's small and useful enough to carry when backpacking or on camping trips. It would have been good to have grits of, say, 400 and 800, to get a little further into medium-grit territory. I give four stars for that and for the slightly uneven handle, but so far, I'm satisfied with this. Read more
