Title: It’s simple small and works
Review: I have had this for 5 years it’s sits in a drawer by my kitchen knives. It takes up no space but sharpens knives very quickly and very easily. Does just as good a job as an electric sharpener without taking up all that kitchen space or plowing through the blade. Every couple months pull it out of the drawer sharpen our knives and toss it back in. It just works and is cheap and built to last

Title: with a knife block in the kitchen full of five uselessly dull knives. In both areas
Review: If you are looking for the ultimate blade honing system, this isn't it. But it doesn't advertise to be as such. This product is clearly marketed (and its literature supports this thesis) as a tool for providing urgent attention to hurting blades. That might be in the field, countless miles from whatever larger and heavier honing systems you own, or it might be a visit to a girlfriend's apartment, with a knife block in the kitchen full of five uselessly dull knives. In both areas, this product works with excellence!First off, this product is roughly the size of a medium-large folding knife, so it is easily packable into a backpack, BUG bag, or tool kit. Secondly, it provides 4 sharpening options, and you can use all or any combination of the 4 to get a workable edge.I have been sharpening knives since I was ten, and own a number of high quality systems for sharpening. I picked this item up for its compactness and simplicity of operation to add to my overall options. I've been very pleased with it.In order to test this product out, I put it to use against a 14 year old Buck folder that has been relegated to storage and an inexpensive Leatherman's primary blade. Neither were blades that I cared significantly about. In beginning my test, both were "functional dull"...capable of cutting, not capable of any sort of shaving sharpness.Using just the carbide and ceramic pull through systems, I was able to put an edge on both knives withing minutes that was capable of clean shaving hair with a few strokes of the blade. 30 seconds of leather work honed those blades even further. The carbide hone didn't remove excessive metal or damage anything.Were they "hair popping sharp"? No. Were they capable of accomplishing virtually every cutting task asked of each blade? I would say so. This little system worked extremely well, and if my knives could never get any sharper than it was capable of doing, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.It isn't the ultimate, but in terms of size, portability and economy of time usage, it's a fantastic combination.

Title: Very handy
Review: This is a very handy little tool. There are multiple points to sharpen your tools and they all work great. I use the extendable piece at the end to sharpen serrations on my blades. I found a cheap old pocket knife in a junk drawer and use the carbide to rid the blade of any imperfections and then used the ceramic side to polish the blade. It does not work perfectly however. I was not able to completely rid the blade of all nicks like I thought I would be able to. This tool is designed to be able to sharpen any blade from any angle and the provided features allow for thatPROS-many sharpening points-diamond coated rod really sharpens serrations goodfells nice and heavy in our handCONS-carbide doesn't shave blade down completely to remove nicks-inexperienced users might find themselves cutting their hands or table they use this onFor the price you really cant find a better sharpener and it is made of quality material and as stated above it feels nice in your hand. I would recommend this to someone who Is wanting to sharpen their knives on a budget, wants to sharpen blades less than 3/8 thick, or someone who doesn't possess any other sharpening tools.

Title: Does What It's Supposed To Do!
Review: I like this Lansky PS-MED01 BladeMedic pocket sharpener much better than the Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener that I purchased first. This unit looks and feels much more substantial than the Smith's does, and with my large hands, I find it easier to use. That said, the two sharpeners work about the same, though the Lansky model offers an additional ceramic hone for serrated knives, that will also allow you to fine-tune the edge of most any knife, if you know what you're doing.Keep in mind that any of these pocket field sharpeners with fixed-angle sharpening elements are not the answer for every knife you may own, since some knives may use an altogether different final angle to achieve the blade's cutting edge. Indeed, you could screw up a fine knife with a significantly differently angled cutting edge, by aggressively using a gizmo like this.Consider how you would sharpen all of these edges, with a fixed-angle sharpener like this \/, when your edge profiles may look like this: ^ /\ |\ /| This is a rough example, but it illustrates the point.Also, different knives use different steels, and different steels offer different qualities. Some are harder to sharpen, but hold their edges very well. Others are easy to sharpen, but require frequent sharpening. Some are rust-resistant... Some are flexible... Others are very rigid (but brittle)... Indeed, some fine blades feature one or more different steels laminated over one another, to produce a blade that possesses the qualities of several types of steel.Still, for most of the knives in your drawer or pocket, this handy tool will restore a sharp cutting edge, as promised, in just a few strokes through the carbide and/or ceramic slots. The secret here is to use this tool often, and never let your knives get dull in the first place! A good quality knife, kept sharp, will serve you a lifetime unless you break or lose it.Really, what we're most often aiming to do when restoring a knife's cutting edge, is to "realign that edge". Think of a piece of paper or a business card, viewed edge-on ------ ; now think of that edge slightly wrinkled, or zigzagged... Magnified, a dull knife's cutting edge when viewed edge-on, may look something like this: --*-^--*-^-- (* ^ represent burs and irregularities on the otherwise straight edge --- ) Drawing that edge across a hone or sharpening carbide/ceramic--or a sharpening steel--clears off the burs and realigns the edge, so that it looks like this again ------ and cuts as it should. This is an entirely different approach than grinding a new edge on the blade, and is a much better approach to maintaining a sharp edge. I think you can see where achieving the correct angle to realign the edge is of paramount importance!To fine-tune "any" edge to factory specs, you'll need something a little more sophisticated, like the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Knife Sharpener 204MF (available right here on Amazon). It comes with an instructional DVD and there is plenty of You Tube on how to use this system. Understand that using this device properly requires that you develop a skillset. I will review the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker at a future date...For expensive, high-quality knives that require more than the edge to be realigned, you may best be served by having a pro do it for you. A prominent high-end restaurant in your area (or a quality butcher shop) can no doubt recommend a sharpening service. And some companies, like Benchmade, for instance, offer customers a lifetime blade restoration/re-sharpening service.In any case, for what it is and what it does, at the price offered, I give the Lansky BladeMedic a full Five Stars. For those planning to carry this tool at all times, you might prefer the aforementioned and lighter Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal. But I prefer this one.--RayB

Review: La verdad es que no esperaba que resultara muy útil, por aquello de ser portátil... Pero con sólo un par de pasadas ya se nota en el filo que funciona. Después se suaviza lo hecho con la parte cerámica y queda bastante bien. Pesa un poco para llevarlo en el bolsillo, pero sin duda vale la pena.

Review: Si eres una persona que se inicia en el mundo de los cuchillos o tal vez un conocedor que quiere siempre tener un afilador siempre a la mano es un producto excelente. Es de una manejo muy sensillo un par de tutoriales en video de cómo usarlo y listo. No es muy pesado siempre y cuando seas de esas personas que están acostumbradas a cargar artículos "por si acaso". Tiene 4 formas de afilar, definitivamente no sustituye a una piedra para afilar que usas con agua o algún aceite pero tampoco creo que seas de esos que quieres cArgsr con una.
