Interesting gadget with flaws and a learning curve
I really wanted to like this device as the next step in my quest for a simpler knife sharpening regimen. Unfortunately, the design itself gets in the way of being truly useful. Although not “difficult” per se, it does have a combination of parts that proved somewhat clumsy and ultimately left me wanting.The sharpening stones were good – with varying grits from 240 to 1500. There are aftermarket stones that can be purchased to extend the tool’s capabilities, but the overall design needs improvement to make those truly useful. I like the adjustable angle swing arm because it allows you to match the edge grind of the knife.However, the knife holder has some design issues that make it less than ideal. For one, the clamp is all metal, increasing the risk of blade damage, especially if the clamp is not adequately tightened. However, over-tightening could also cause blade damage, and that balance is hard to find. Also, the clamp will not allow use with small blades – it would not work with my little two-blade Old Timer pocket knife.I also had an issue with the clamp popping out the lock bolts when I tried to open it wide enough to lock the Old Timer handle. The sping-mounted bolts popped out, and I spent 20 minutes looking for the spring!I think this sharpener’s concept is good, but the execution needs refinement. Unfortunately, I will be returning this.
