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.

This thing is nuts. I tried it on some of my pairing knives and within a few strokes on the blue section and a couple of light passes between the ceramic blades they are as good as when they came out of the Pro cook shop. Very impressive. Beats having to get out the diamond stones and strop. Will definitely keep my companion sharp. Highly recommended.

Great product easy use and packable

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.

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

Excellent

I picked this up to keep my Swiss Army knife in good working shape, and it’s turned out to be one of those surprisingly handy little tools that earns its place in a pocket or kit. It’s compact enough to carry without noticing it, but sturdy enough that it doesn’t feel flimsy or gimmicky. What I like most is how quick and simple it is to use. For light maintenance and everyday touch-ups, it puts a clean, sharp edge back on the blade in no time. I don’t need to baby it, and I don’t need a table-sized sharpening stone - it’s very much a grab-and-go solution. The angle guides make it hard to get things wrong, which is great if (like me) you prefer convenience over perfect technique. It’s also well designed for outdoor use. The textured grip makes it easy to hold even with cold hands, and the materials feel durable enough to be thrown in a bag, glovebox, or camping kit without worrying about damage. Pros: - Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry - Very quick to use for everyday touch-ups - Gives a noticeably sharper edge with minimal effort - Durable, grippy design suitable for outdoor use Cons: - Best for maintenance sharpening, not for repairing very dull or damaged blades - No frills - but that’s kind of the appeal If you want a convenient, reliable sharpener to keep your Swiss Army knife performing at its best, this is a great little tool and good value for money. It’s not meant to replace a full sharpening setup, but for quick on-the-go edge care, it works brilliantly.

This was purchased to sharpen a swiss army knife. It is probably O.K. for some sharpening jobs or for those who are not particular about a swiss army knife being razor sharp. There are two parts to it, one is a "V" shape notch set at 20 degrees. This is intended for sharpening kitchen knives, however it is a bit "sticky" and jumpy to use, this can lead to the hand slipping which could cause the fingers to get quite a nasty cut, and could be considered to be somewhat dangerous. Anyone wanting to sharpen kitchen knives, I would suggest that they spend approximately the same amount of money and purchase the "anysharp" a sharpening instrument with a suction cup on the bottom that holds it to a smooth surface and makes sure no fingers are lost. The second part of this device comprises of a ceramic stick which is pushed into the handle. this is where we come to the bit where we consider it only to be OK ish. This was purchased as a pocket sharpener that would be useful in the field. Up until l now we have used medium and fine grade Spyder Co ceramic sharpening stones and we have found that a bevel of about 15% gives a razor sharp edge to a knife. But this does require the use of the fine stone. This is great in the workshop but a bit cumbersome in the field. Unfortunately we would describe the victorinox (despite the fact that they manufacture the swiss army knife) to be far too coarse to give anything but a fairly rough edge. This sharpener is probably quite suitable for putting an edge quickly on secateurs hedge clippers and loppers or lawnmower blades. The ceramic stick does have a groove down the middle of one side which we believe is used for sharpening fish hooks. If someone comes out with a similar device with a fine ceramic stone it would be more appropriate for the purpose of putting a fine edge on a pocket knife.

It's good, and it doesn't take off too much metal like a diamond file. But you have to sharpen it quite often to make your blade redeemable, cuz if not, it'll be really hard to get an edge since it can't take off much metal. I think it's either a 400 or 650 grit, but not sure.

No lo he usado. Pero llegó bien y a tiempo. A simple vista es de buena calidad.

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。

Super

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
