Overview

Diamond and ceramic abrasives, one coarse and one fine, do the sharpening in this compact guided tool. It is built as a travel sharpener, in black, and small enough to carry with a knife.

Guided sharpening in a small travel body is the reason to buy, with two grit stages. The limit is detail: angle settings, serrated and ceramic knife support, and assembly are not described, and the warranty excludes the abrasives.

Who it's for

People who sharpen knives in the field or while traveling suit it. Cooks who sharpen a full block at a kitchen counter may want a larger system.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Diamond and ceramic abrasives
  • Coarse and fine grits
  • Compact travel size
  • Limited lifetime warranty
Cons
  • Angle settings not listed
  • Abrasives excluded from warranty
  • Knife types unspecified
  • Included parts unclear

Performance notes

Diamond cuts steel quickly in the coarse stage, and ceramic refines the edge in the fine stage. The guide holds the knife at a set angle so strokes stay consistent. Technique and the number of strokes still decide the final edge, and the listing names no angle.
