Bought this to sharpen up my 10 inch shears as I was using a file previously to restore the edge, the difference is night and day!!Very effective at sharpening and incredible value and quality. I was familiar with sharpal stones after buying their diamond plate for my kitchen knives, this is exactly the same but a mini version, easily fitting in a pocket or backpack (or toolbox in my case)Very good little item and well worth the asking price!

I am always sharpening knives both for culinary work and my hobby of making things from leather. As most of us already know a really sharp knife is safer than a dull one, as much less pressure is required to make a cut. I already own a really effective knife sharpening system, but it requires a few minutes to set it all up so it only gets used when I have a few dulled tools.I bought this as something to quickly restore a tool's edge between bouts of major resharpening. I have just tested it on a kitchen knife that was last sharpened about 3 weeks ago. It was pretty dull as others in my household do horrid things to sharp knives, such a putting them in a pile of cutlery on the draining board.With just a few strokes of the coarse side, a hone on the other, and a swift strop with the leather sheath, this put a superb edge on the knife. The tool proved very easy to use and it feels nicely balanced in the hand. The paracord binding on the handle allows a very secure grip and the leather sheath is a clever touch with its ability to be used as a strop. I like it very much and it will be a go-to tool for regular use. It would be especially useful to take on lengthy trips in the outdoors as it isn't either heavy, or bulky, and will always ensure a decent edge on knives used in the field.Highly recommended...

Great quality, love the orange paracord handle,genuine leather sleeve. Quality knife sharpener.Ideal for my emergency edc bag and Fast delivery from Amazon

Does its job quite well but not for long before loosing it's efficiency

I bought this to sharpen my sickle / mini scythe in the field and it does a lovely job. It is comfortable to hold and very easy to control giving confidence and a great result. It was very hard to get out of the leather sheath the first time, but after a few times, it has become easier and now just fits well with no fear that it could fall out.The proposal in the instructions that you use the leather sheath and some paste to strop the blade seems daft as this would mean that you get paste on your pockets - it would be better to have a strop added to the sheath and then doubled over and secured with a popper - this would be the only improvement I could suggest.I am very happy to recommend this diamond stone to anyone.

This will never be as good as sharpening on a whetstone, but having said that, this has brought my kitchen knife back to shaving sharp, and won't take as much room as a set of stones in a drawer would. It just takes a bit of getting used to so you don't cut yourself whilst sharpening your knives.
