RWS Quick-Sharp Knife Sharpener

  This is the third of these sharpeners I have purchased, one as a gift, one lost and now this one. Excellent item, easily used to sharpen kitchen knives as well as outdoor blades.

  This is a great little handheld sharpener, fits well into a little waist pouch so you can have it with you whenever you need it.

  Brilliant bit of kit and I have two of these at home. I actually bought this for a friend who needed a good and reliable knife sharpener. She is delighted with it. Highly recommended.

  Maybe I was using it wrong, but the carbide side of this sharpener seems a little too brutal. Or unrefined. I don't doubt it does the job, but left a bit of a rough edge on my blade- there was a definite notch which I had to use another knife sharpener I have to remove. The ceramic side has more finesse. That said, it is very compact and, like I said, I don't doubt it will make a sharp edge, so I'd certainly keep it on me when out and about in case I needed it. Perhaps I will try and find more tips on how best to use it before I need to though.

  Useful little sharpener at a good price. Not usually keen on the carbide type scrapers which are very harsh but the ceramic rods on the other end put a nice polish on the edge. They'll also touch up a cutting edge which is getting worn without using the carbide. Some caution needed to keep thumbs out of the way as it's a small item.

  I bought this sharpener for sharpening my pocket knives. If you have a scandi grind and want to maintain it don't use one of these, it will give you a micro bevel on you knife. This sharpener is far more robust than other sharpeners of this type, so I think is worth the couple of extra quid. It's quite chunky with good handles for gripping when in use. I would think it would be uncomfortable to carry in a trouser pocket, but fine in a large coat pocket or something of that sort. In use it is very effective. It brought my Opinel from dull to razor sharp in a very short time. The little key chain thing is the only down side. It's cheap. If you want to hang it off something I would replace this. Otherwise great, handy little sharpener.

  I bought one for the kitchen and one for a travel kit, for knives and multi-tool blades. Easy to keep a good working edge with a fine finish.

  Does what it says on the can. Blade sharpens very well albeit a little ragged to the touch. However a quick strop on the belt and you get a great edge very quickly. Fantastic when you don't have the stones or the time to get a very effective edge. Great value for money.
