Work Sharp Portable Pivot Knife Sharpener, WSEDCPVT EDC Black

5.0 out of 5 stars — Simple, Effective, and Hard to Beat for the Price I picked up the Work Sharp Portable Pivot Knife Sharpener not expecting much, but it honestly punches way above its weight. If you’re looking for something quick, compact, and easy to use, this gets the job done without any fuss. The guided angles make it pretty much foolproof—no guesswork, no learning curve. A few passes and you’re back to a clean, usable edge. It’s not trying to be a high end precision system, but that’s kind of the point. It’s fast, consistent, and works exactly how you want a portable sharpener to work. Build quality is solid for the price, and the size makes it easy to toss in a drawer, toolbox, or even take camping. I’ve used it on kitchen knives and a couple of beat up utility blades, and it brought them back to life with minimal effort. If you’re expecting mirror-polished edges, look elsewhere. But if you want a reliable, no-nonsense sharpener that actually works and doesn’t cost much, this is a no-brainer. For the price, it’s an easy 5 stars.

Best, easiest portable sharpener EVER. BEEN using for 8 years on number 3. But I sharpen every one’s knives at work so the sharpener gets triple duty if not more.

This sharpener is fantastic when it comes to sharpening high carbon blades. I have a Japanese santoku kitchen knife that badly needed sharpening, and this little sharpener got it back to razor level in very few passes. However, when I started trying to use it on other steels with my everyday carry knife and others, I got varied results. 440 Stainless was right in the middle of difficulty to get sharp. And right behind that, softer steels like 420 (or 420J2, 420HC) took many passes and a lot of time get a good edge to take and hold. I don't mind putting in the extra work to get my blades back up to code, but I was surprised as to how different each steel type reacted to the carbide. This is my first time using a carbide sharpener, so I don't know if this is normal or not. Either way, it does the job very well as long as you're willing to put in the extra effort on the softer steels. This could be a 5 star sharpener, but the only reason I have to knock a star off is because of the placement of the red carbide adjuster switch on the top. Because of it's location, the rubber grip that is glued around it is very thin because it takes up most of the space, and when using the honing side, the one side isn't as grippy. The overall design of this sharpener is great though, but I don't understand why they didn't choose to put the selector switch on the front face of the body. On a side note, the packaging is very well done. Whoever they have doing the marketing did a great job. It's super tough, and I had a good laugh trying to use my very dull every day carry to open it. I could barely get through the plastic bubble to get to the sharpener, the very thing I needed to get it sharp in the first place. I don't say this negatively. It was just the irony of it and was pretty funny. Overall, this is a fine sharpener for most needs at a fantastic price point.

Works well, quickly puts an edge on the knife. I use it for cleaning fish, and it comes in very handy to keep my filet knife sharp and up to the task.

I bought this hoping to get a razor edge back to me pocket knife. I ran it through the carbide and ceramic side 200 times each, and it still is not to the level of shaving with like when I used to be able to. It did sharpen it more than it was however, so with it being so cheap, light, and small, it’s definitely nice to have and get your blade sharper. Also, I read the package to see what the little switch does, but it seems confusing to me. I’ve tried it with the switch in both directions and haven’t noticed any difference while sharpening.

It is a good tool for small knifes

I bought this because it was very inexpensive and had great reviews. I wanted something lightweight for backpacking, but this thing has turned out to be absolutely amazing! I now use it as my main sharpener at home as well. It is so quick and simple to use, and it really puts a great, clean edge on my knives. This, company really seems to care about quality, because I think this is their least expensive model, and it works like it should cost a lot more! I love the three-step process, two with the main sharpener (there is a button that allows the sharpener to stay in place or rock back and forth depending on the step), and one with the fine-edge finishing piece. There is even a diamond file included. I can't recommend this product enough. You won't be disappointed, I promise you!
