This sharpener is fantastic when it comes to sharpening high carbon blades. I have a Japanese santoku kitchen knife that badly needed sharpening, and this little sharpener got it back to razor level in very few passes. However, when I started trying to use it on other steels with my everyday carry knife and others, I got varied results. 440 Stainless was right in the middle of difficulty to get sharp. And right behind that, softer steels like 420 (or 420J2, 420HC) took many passes and a lot of time get a good edge to take and hold. I don't mind putting in the extra work to get my blades back up to code, but I was surprised as to how different each steel type reacted to the carbide. This is my first time using a carbide sharpener, so I don't know if this is normal or not. Either way, it does the job very well as long as you're willing to put in the extra effort on the softer steels.This could be a 5 star sharpener, but the only reason I have to knock a star off is because of the placement of the red carbide adjuster switch on the top. Because of it's location, the rubber grip that is glued around it is very thin because it takes up most of the space, and when using the honing side, the one side isn't as grippy. The overall design of this sharpener is great though, but I don't understand why they didn't choose to put the selector switch on the front face of the body.On a side note, the packaging is very well done. Whoever they have doing the marketing did a great job. It's super tough, and I had a good laugh trying to use my very dull every day carry to open it. I could barely get through the plastic bubble to get to the sharpener, the very thing I needed to get it sharp in the first place. I don't say this negatively. It was just the irony of it and was pretty funny.Overall, this is a fine sharpener for most needs at a fantastic price point.

Works great for sharping and convenient size easy to put in your pocket and take anyplace you go.

I bought this hoping to get a razor edge back to me pocket knife. I ran it through the carbide and ceramic side 200 times each, and it still is not to the level of shaving with like when I used to be able to. It did sharpen it more than it was however, so with it being so cheap, light, and small, it’s definitely nice to have and get your blade sharper. Also, I read the package to see what the little switch does, but it seems confusing to me. I’ve tried it with the switch in both directions and haven’t noticed any difference while sharpening.

This knife sharpener really works. I had to buy a second one because my son took my first one.Instructions re really helpful also.

Cheap, small, handy, and it works! I’ve had mine for years!

Works great, very handy.
