VictorinoxDual Knife Sharpener, Swiss Made, Portable, Black/Red

Love this sharpener i had one a while back and lost it , but it really is a nice product amazing how blunt my swiss army knives have got over the months ! like the fact you just stick it in your pocket like a pen , also i sharpened one of my wifes kitchen knives with it perfect .

Great product Great price Build quality excellent Easy to use

Useful handy tool.

A small pen like knife sharpener, as you would expect from this brand build quality is spot on.Easy to hold and can sharpen any knife without question

If like me you have many Swiss Army Tools this sharpener is indispensable. So easy to use and carry with you, as a blunt knife is useless, highly recommended 10/10

Absolutely brilliant. Very easy to use.Just ordered two more so I can keep one in the kitchen and one in my van.You can sharpen at work, in front of the telly, up a mountain, no messing with water or anything, you can use it anywhere without a bench.I've used it to great effect on Pen Knives, Pocket Knives, Kitchen Knives, Sushi Knives, Carving Knives, Hunting Knives, Cutlery Steel, Carbon Steel, Razor Steel, all no problem with excellent results.Few tips :It's not a Chef's Steel, don't try and use it like one.Here's the biggie NEVER USE IT WITH YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE BLADE. Sorry for shouting.Just flip the blade so the edge is away from you and hold the sharpener behind the blade.Pick your angle and sweep left and right like you're shading on a line with a pencil.Don't saw across the blade. Always run along the blade, left right, handle to tip. You don't need to do long full sweeps, just keep it even.Like this it's impossible to cut yourself or scratch the flat of the knife.As the edge apexes you'll start pushing a burr over the apex.Keep flipping sides and reducing pressure until the burr reduces to nothing.If you're not getting a good edge you are either not properly apexed yet or you're using too much pressure and knackering up the apex.The last sweeps should feel like warm butter with a feather pressure.Test the edge on a single sheet of paper, that'll show you where you need to do more work.Scrub deposits off the sharpener on cardboard or a roll of paper.If you want to polish or strop the edge afterwards use a leather belt for razor steel or leather with polishing compound on it for harder steels.Yes, you can do a faster better job with £300 worth of Japanese Whetstones, but come on, are you a Sushi Chef or do you just want your knives to work properly? 🤔😂Anyway, this is much easier to use on smaller blades and doesn't make a mess.

great tool, very easy to use

The sharpener works fairly well, but your never going to get that razor edge. The stone is curved, which makes it hard to get the flat of the bevel at the right angle to preserve the blades edge. It worked fine on a small kitchen knife, and gave a reasonable edge and fairly good sharpness, but nowhere near as good as a flat wet whetstone and strop. Maybe i'm being too fussy, or I'm not using it correctly but i having tried to get that factory sharp edge on my victorinox Army Knives, it seems to come up just short. maybe its me, but the instructions are not existent, save for an unclear simple line diagram printed on the back, which doesn't even explain what the 2 functions are for. something tells me, I'm missing a trick as it is a Victorinox product, for which i have great admiration. The quality is flawless, but it's functionality is questionable. But I think I'm using it wrong, but can't find anywhere including you tube etc, that shows how to use it correctly. Shame as its compact and easily stowed, feels good in the hand, robust etc. Needs better instructions or a link to an official video tutorial.
