2 Pcs Diamond Retractable Sharpening Rod Kitchen, Sky Blue, Red | Portable Steel Stick for Outdoor Serrated Knife, Pen-style Compact Storage, Professional Honing Rod, Camping Tool

I bought these for my boyfriend because, let’s be honest, a man with a dull knife is just a man carrying a very shiny spoon. The "Do-It-All" Rod: These things are like the MacGyver of the tool world. One minute it’s sharpening a kitchen knife on the flat side, the next it’s fixing a fish hook in that little groove (for whenever he finally goes on that fishing trip he talks about), and then—the real party trick—it has a pointed end for serrated blades or chainsaw teeth. It’s basically a diamond-encrusted magic wand for anything with an edge. The "Two-for-One" Special: It comes in a 2-pack, which is the greatest gift you can give to someone with ADHD. One for the kitchen, one for the "adventure bag." Or, in our case, one for him to use and one for him to inevitably misplace and then find three months later in a coat pocket. The Retractable Factor: They retract into themselves like a fancy pen, so they don't tear up the inside of his pockets or his new leather sheath. It’s sleek, it’s portable, and it doesn't look like a bulky industrial tool. Final Verdict: If your partner has a collection of knives that couldn't cut through warm butter, get him these. For the price, you get two "survival sticks" that make him feel like a professional woodsman every time he touches up a blade.

I have been using these for well over 25 years and they are excellent for bringing a knife edge back to life. I would never be with out one in fact I have three of them. In different locations great product.

this is a very nice tool I bought and kept one for myself how about two more and gave away his gifts.

Convenient - I always have one in my pencil cup - I now gift them to friends. I keep my pocket knives with just a few swipes on this sharpener.

These are a great little thing to have. I just received it yesterday, but I've already touched up a few tools for the garden and lawn, as well as my daily carry knife. This is not for fixing a damaged blade, or making a show stopping hair popping edge, but it get the edge you had back to use able if you're using your tool all day, dulled it and need it to work again. Pretty handy tool, I like the size and the multiple functions. Headed fishing tomorrow night, we'll see if it holds up for that trip, filet knives, hooks, pocket knives.... It will be tested!!!

Real good sharpener best pocket tool i owen

These sharpeners are precisely what I needed. Some complain that the texture is too coarse; I find this to be beneficial based on their primary intended use--namely, to sharpen serrated edges. A serrated knife noally maintains cutting ability well past a regular edge simply based on design; by the time one can be considered 'dull" it is usually in need of significant work for which a coarse tool is required. Also, as coarse texture diamond rod can be used for a number of other tasks--mine stands in regularly as a small file in on the spot tasks. Finally as this pack ordered contains two rods, it is a relatively simple task to keep one as-is while dressing the other with a spare stone, sandpaper, or even an old "beater" knife to a finer surface for honing. Overall, this is a very solid and useful purchase which any enterprising crafter or outdoorsperson will be able to put to immediate, beneficial work.

Not a good purchase. Awkward to use. Not efficient for my knife sharpening project.

Works well on those scallop edge knives, does a good job of sharpening.
