Victorinox Dual Knife Sharpener, Swiss Made, Portable, Black/Red

I’m very pleased with this Victorinox Dual Knife Sharpener. It’s compact, lightweight, and extremely easy to use, making it ideal for both home and travel. The dual sharpening system works well — the carbide side quickly restores a dull edge, while the ceramic side smooths and finishes the blade nicely.Build quality is excellent, as you’d expect from a Swiss-made Victorinox product. The sharpener feels sturdy in hand, and the non-slip base provides good stability during use. I especially like how portable it is; it fits easily into a drawer, toolbox, or even a backpack.It sharpens kitchen knives efficiently and brings them back to a noticeably sharp edge with minimal effort. While it’s not designed to replace professional sharpening for heavily damaged blades, it’s perfect for regular maintenance and everyday use.Overall, this is a reliable, well-made knife sharpener that does exactly what it promises. Great value for money and highly recommended for anyone wanting a quick, effective sharpening solution.

surprised at how well this works. Having had Victorinox knifes for over 50 years (carry one everyday) thought id give this a try,and was very glad of my purchase with the help of a light strop my knives are razor sharp,tied it on other knives Boker,CRKT among others and same result razor sharp after a quick strop. the only thing I can't use it on is my Moras' as they are scandi grind but anything with a 20 degree bevel its great,also worked on my kukri which has always been a pain to sharpen so I'm guessing it to has the same bevel. for the price this small pen like sharpener is one of the best out there and much quicker than using wet stones.

This knife sharpener took a little bit of practice on an old dull SAK but eventually it did a really good job. It's not going to be razor sharp like a very expensive sharpening system will do it but the knife was sharp enough to whittle and do anything else I asked of it. It is worth spending a little bit of time looking at a few YouTube video of people showing how to use it properly.

Bought 5 years ago and used frequently to keep kitchen knives sharp.This simple sharpener works well and is easy to use. It works well for knives but is too small and lightweight to use on tools (chisels etc) for which you need a traditional sharpening stone.The main advantage of this sharpener is convenience - it sits in a kitchen drawer and can be taken out and used in seconds to sharpen a knife. This is vastly easier, quicker and less messy than a sharpening stone. The design means that you really don’t need to fret about sharpening angles as it does a decent job with a few passes at just about any angle, you don’t need prior sharpening experience to use this.It is quite lightweight and is showing wear now but for the price and the amount of use it has experienced it is good value and useful to have in the house. Recommended.

Great product easy use and packable

Can't stand blunt knives. Takes a bit of getting used to but absolutely does the job. Good value. Good size. Recommended.

Nice handy way to sharpen a pocket knife. Works well for my basic needs.

Absolutely brilliant. Very easy to use.Just ordered two more so I can keep one in the kitchen and one in my van.You can sharpen at work, in front of the telly, up a mountain, no messing with water or anything, you can use it anywhere without a bench.I've used it to great effect on Pen Knives, Pocket Knives, Kitchen Knives, Sushi Knives, Carving Knives, Hunting Knives, Cutlery Steel, Carbon Steel, Razor Steel, all no problem with excellent results.Few tips :It's not a Chef's Steel, don't try and use it like one.Here's the biggie NEVER USE IT WITH YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE BLADE. Sorry for shouting.Just flip the blade so the edge is away from you and hold the sharpener behind the blade.Pick your angle and sweep left and right like you're shading on a line with a pencil.Don't saw across the blade. Always run along the blade, left right, handle to tip. You don't need to do long full sweeps, just keep it even.Like this it's impossible to cut yourself or scratch the flat of the knife.As the edge apexes you'll start pushing a burr over the apex.Keep flipping sides and reducing pressure until the burr reduces to nothing.If you're not getting a good edge you are either not properly apexed yet or you're using too much pressure and knackering up the apex.The last sweeps should feel like warm butter with a feather pressure.Test the edge on a single sheet of paper, that'll show you where you need to do more work.Scrub deposits off the sharpener on cardboard or a roll of paper.If you want to polish or strop the edge afterwards use a leather belt for razor steel or leather with polishing compound on it for harder steels.Yes, you can do a faster better job with £300 worth of Japanese Whetstones, but come on, are you a Sushi Chef or do you just want your knives to work properly? 🤔😂Anyway, this is much easier to use on smaller blades and doesn't make a mess.

This was exactly what I was hoping it would be. A very portable and quality touch up sharpening stone with pull through ceramic v which works for what its for.It is the size of a regular pen, easy to clean. Very practical...get yourself 2

コンパクトで携帯に便利でサッと研げる。なかなか良く切れるようになります。本格的な砥石と比べるのは意味ないですよ。手軽さが売りですからね。

La verdad que la calidad Victorinox se nota en todas sus herramientas. No confiaba mucho en este pequeño y fino afilador, pero lejos de la realidad es el mejor que he tenido nunca con diferencia.Es muy fácil sacar filo con esta herramienta, la calidad de la piedra hace que con unas cuantas pasadas dejas las navajas como nuevas, y luego con la otra parte limpias el filo para rematarlo.Al ser pequeño para un cuchillo grande quizás se quede corto. Pero para navajas de bolsillo es el complemento perfecto

Small but mighty. Great for touching up your blades.
