This thing is fantastic! I have sharpened many pocket knives and one large fixed blade, I even used it to sharpen a windlass cobra stel wakazashi short sword! I have had other simular style knife sharpeners some double the price that arent as good as this one. Not only has this one done a better job of sharpening but it seems to be much more durable and lasting much longer. Im going to buy more of these and put one with each of my large survival type knives and machetes. I havent tested the fire steel but who cares, Im sure it will work and its just a bonus anyways, its the sharpener thats impressive ad makes this well worth the $9 I highly sugest getting one and seeing for your self, I bet after using it you buy a few more. This would make a great stocking stuffer for any knife lover. It even sharpened a knife I have that is cheap steel and refuses to take an edge from other simular sharpeners. Just get one, you wont be let down. Read more
Works great on all my pocket knives. It's great for camping not only because it has a fishing hook sharpener, a whistle but also a fire starter that works very well and lasts a very long time Read more
Nice 10 in 1 tool ! Sharpener tool works great , the fire starter works very well and the hook sharpener is very good too. This product is a very smart buy. Fits in your pocket and is very very handy. Read more
Works great. I used it on a variety of steels with great success. Def paper sharp. Sometimes able to remove hair. I haven’t quite figured out the ceramic side but the other side is good enough for my purposes. Read more
Quality was very clean and easy to use. Perfect for versatility and compact enough to fit in your pocket. Read more
We purchased a couple of these, sharing them with a few relatives who are intense hikers. We also purchased for ourselves and our survival kit. We live on the oceanfront and put in our Tsunami bug out kit. It has the all important sharpener aspect, but also a fire starter. A whistle, etc. Husband reports that the sharpener works very well on his pocket knife collection. Win/win. We probably all need one of these! Small, compact and easy to carry or put into a kit. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including well over 24,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do. Read more
It looks better than it feels. Kinda cheap quality but I’m keeping it for my toolbox because it will at least sharpen carpenter knife blades for reuse instead of tossing them when they begin to dull so in the long run it will save me enough money to pay for itself. I just wouldn’t use it on my better pocket knives. Read more
works good might have this thing forever Read more
