101N 6-in-1 Pocket Knife Sharpener & Survival Tool – Diamond Sharpening Rod, Fire Starter Ferro Rod, Whistle – Sharpens Straight & Serrated Blades, Repairs & Hones Knives Fathers Day Gift

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've never been able to get a good edge on my pocket knife with a whetstone. I've tried the Sharpal type of sharpener with two previous tools. I really like the features, particularly the fishhook and serrated edge file. Just follow the directions and use a light hand as when you get your knife initially sharp it only takes a few strokes to restore an edge on my Case knives. I haven't used the fire starter yet. I have bought two extras for friends. Sharpener quality: Well designed and useful. Tool size: Handles well. Angle guide: Consistently performs when used properly. Follow the directions. Compactness: Lots of features in a handy package. Safety: When used properly it is safe to use. Works well: Yes, it works well and is a nice gift, in my opinion.

This thing does exactly what you're seeking: it sharpens knives and tools. It's not magic and won't leave a mirror edge on your blade. You'll have to run your knife or tool through the carbide and ceramic more than a few times for a good sharp edge. How many pulls through each is dependent on how dull the blade is, how hard the steel is, and how sharp you want it to be. It's better than average and will in fact give you a very sharp result if you invest enough careful effort. It WON'T sharpen a dull edge with 2 or 3 pulls - stop being lazy! If your edge is duller than CSPAN between speeches and floor votes, expect to spend five to fifteen minutes on the carbide side before moving to the ceramic to finalize your edge. If it's still fairly sharp, just a few pulls on the ceramic side is all you'll need. If you're sharpening a soft knife...well, throw that thing away once you've realized it doesn't hold an edge. (I've seen people grind off serrations on steak knives, ruining the edge and heat treatment and turning good blades into garbage incapable of holding an edge. I still own one of those for demonstration purposes.) The whistle is as loud as your lungs can make it. The magnesium firestarter creates an impressive shower of sparks when you drag it along the spine of a thick-bladed knife. The diamond-coated rod is great for serrations. Expect to spend a LOT of time resharpening those! Sorry, there's no magic wand to reduce the effort serrations require. That's okay - it's a trade-off for how well they multiply your cutting edge. Overall it's hard to imagine you'll be disappointed after spending less than ten bucks on this handy tool. It's a lot better than many others in the category!

My family has several of these, and used them for years. None of us have ever been able light a fire with one which is the reason for 4 stars. BUT it is a GREAT SHARPENER for all types of knives & edged tools, the main reason we bought them. Best, easiest, dependable sharpener. Yes the whistle works fine too. Just get a good ferro rod for fires.

My husband absolutely loves this thing. Easy to use. Great design and size. Great to put in your pocket and carry with a knife. Good quality and seems to be pretty durable.

I was very surprised with the performance. It puts a decent edge on, has a few useful features, and was dirt cheap. I wouldn’t recommend for higher end knives or a type of knife that isn’t sharpened at a 20 degree angle, but for a pocket knife it sharpens very quickly with a solid edge.

This thing is fantastic! I have sharpened many pocket knives and one large fixed blade, I even used it to sharpen a windlass cobra stel wakazashi short sword! I have had other simular style knife sharpeners some double the price that arent as good as this one. Not only has this one done a better job of sharpening but it seems to be much more durable and lasting much longer. Im going to buy more of these and put one with each of my large survival type knives and machetes. I havent tested the fire steel but who cares, Im sure it will work and its just a bonus anyways, its the sharpener thats impressive ad makes this well worth the $9 I highly sugest getting one and seeing for your self, I bet after using it you buy a few more. This would make a great stocking stuffer for any knife lover. It even sharpened a knife I have that is cheap steel and refuses to take an edge from other simular sharpeners. Just get one, you wont be let down.

Good for knifes and hand pruners due to compact size. Built in round file is helpful on hand prunners for making transition on rounded edges and fine edges.

The product it’s self is great and well made just doesn’t give a long lasting edge on any blade if sharpened with it

Molto ben fatto, funzionale, leggero e comodo. L'ho usato per affilare coltelli, per affilare la falce ed altri strumenti da lavoro. E' economico, leggero e ben fatto, ha tutto quello che serve per affilare e tenere in funzione strumenti anche pesanti. L'affilacoltelli Victorinox fa esattamente la stessa cosa di questo: mangiando un po' di lama rifà il filo. Non lo userei quindi su costosi coltelli forgiati ma lo uso su tutti i coltelli stampati che ho, soprattutto quelli da esterno! Prova del taglio carta superato anche dal falcetto! Insomma, affila bene, costa il giusto ed è pratico, un must per me!

Highly recommended item for survival edc.👍

荒削の能力が高く、コバが消してしまったナイフの刃もしっかりと修正することができます。 また、ダイヤモンドヤスリは波刃の修正に活躍します。波刃は片刃なので傷みやすいですが、これがあれば安心して使い倒すことができます。 ファイヤスタータも消耗品ではありますが、研ぎ機を使うことで安定して火花を発生させることができます。

Je viens de recevoir mon second sharpal, après des années de pierre japonaise etc .... j'ai voulus testé une méthode différente et surtout moins casse co**** que les pierres à aiguisé . Je fais beaucoup de randonnée et je vais entamé bientôt des road trip en italie, allemagne etc et que dire mise a part que ce produit et juste idéal ! - Ultra léger 6 en 1 - Sifflet de survie - fireSteel de secours et L'aiguisage qui pour l'instant est parfait je l'ai pas encore testé sur mes couteau Joker de bushcraft, Joker Nomad et Joker Avispa je ferais une update je pense quand ils auront perdue de leur tranchant pour l'instant aucun aiguisage nécessaire . Bref j'ai aiguisé mon opinel de survie et mes opinel de maison et franchement bravo !!! Je préparer de la viande pour mon déshydrateur, impossible de faire de fine tranche, après 10 passage sur le sharpal pour testé, j'ai réussi à faire des tranches d'une épaisseur de 2-5 mm facilement, En regardant la lame au soleil on aperçoit parfaitement l'aiguisage qui est top . Bref pour la rando/bushcraft etc foncé
