Good Tool

Rating:****
I keep this thing handy sometimes to touch up a blade while in the field. Being compact and carried like a writing pen in your shirt pocket makes it easy to carry anywhere. I use it also to sharpen hooks and serrations when needed. It does a good job on serrated blades.

Great Tool

Rating:****
I never go anywhere without a sharp knife. This product is small and light enough to go into the pack for that 'just in case' situation. I like knowing that wherever I am, I can always stay sharp.

Good For Serrated Edges

Rating:***
There is no outstanding way to sharpen really dull serrated edges, but this little gadget does a nice job touching them up. The tapered end adapts to different size serrations and the fixed diameter end may be used as a mini-sharpening steel for plain edges, but there are better tools for quick touch up of plain edges. Overall, it is handy enough to own, but I would not rely on this for sharpening anything other than serrated edges.

Works Great!

Compact unit makes it easy to stuff in your shirt pocket or pack. Great to sharpen up the blade or serrated edge.
