Been using a Worksharp pocket sharpener in the same way but this even smaller Victorinox one is definitely tempting for in your rucksack. Don't need them often but when I do i really need it. Pen size is perfect for that.
I did a review of the pocket sharpener last year. I liked it, but this is the one I use for a quick sharpen. Do WORK SHARP mini sharpeners REALLY WORK❓ #edc #everydaycarry #sharpening ua-cam.com/video/fy1e50VALuc/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching! Ideal for relative knife newbies like me. It has worked well for me for the last couple of years as I learn to use bigger flat sharpening stones...
I love the victorinox dule knife sharpener I've got a few of them been using it for about 12 years I've broken one before so i put it on my keyring works good 👍
I carry this sharpener with me every day! One of the best pocket hones out there, perfect size. It's big enough to not be too fiddly with bigger knives like Ontario RAT 1 or Mora, and still small and light in the bag. Although you would still want to occasionally sharpen your knives on a proper stone or diamond plate to remove fatigued steel, when you notice that the edge doesn't last as long after honing.
Hi MD-EDC, I own one and absolutely love it!! Very easy to use! Nicely done my friend!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!!👍🏽👍🏽💯💯❤️❤️
Looks like a nice portable sharpener! The best I've found is the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker. It has two sets of stones of different grits and they go in pre-set slots angled so you are always sharpening at 20 degrees. It's gotten a bit pricey since I bought it. But it's awesome.
I have one of these and love it! I didn't know you can clean them with a rubber, thanks for the tip! I use it on my swiss army knives but I've used it on my twisted assisted junzi in 14c28n and also some cheaper knives claiming to be d2 and it's not let me down yet! If you find the rod wobbling you can put a piece of cloth e.g underneath to stop it moving. I want to learn to strop because I feel these rods are a touch abrasive so just want to be able to ensure the longevity of my knives.
The rubber was a viewers tip. I use it on D2 blades and it works, just a little slower to sharpen than Inox. 12c27 blades sharpen easily with it. Thanks for the tip about keeping it steady. My cutting mat works well too… Stropping is really easy and is great to get a sharper blade. I have a couple of videos on it.
Thanks Mark, I've had one of these for a good few years and find it does a great job, I carry the Alox Keyring knife everywhere and have a couple of the bigger models too. I also use the Felco diamond sharpener which is also very good and the Eze-lap paddles and Opinel Natural Whetstone too, they all have their pros and cons tbh depending on blade type but I enjoy using them all and always like to finish with a hard leather strop with Autosol or Tormek paste !

It works with harder steels as well. I have sharpened k390 and maxamet. If the edge is setup right you can sharpen very hard steels with it. It just takes practice. I use it in hand not with the tip on the table.
I use it in hand too…this method is a little safer and easier if starting to use it. I don’t have many harder steels- but it definitely struggled with the 440c on my Boker Expedition Barlow.
@@MB_EDCeven with softer steels it takes a lot of “rubbing” to remove steel. I view the Dual Sharpener as a “on the go” sharpener. This is best done if you set up your blades at lower edge angles(10-12 dps) and when sharpening you create a microbevel 1-2 dps larger than the initial edge angle. Doing it like this it works relatively fast because you do not need to remove so much material. I do this for my victorinox paring knives as well
Haha! Yes! One of my viewers put me into ít. It's a blue honing paste from Bolpol. Great for softer steels like Victorinox. It's available on Amazon in the UK. Not sure if it's found in other countries...amzn.to/3Cmda6F

Excellent video. Had one for a couple of years, also my go to. Peace from Scotland

I had one of those a few years back, but my dad really liked it so I gave it to him. Haven't picked up another yet, but I need to. Cheers, buddy!
Thanks David...Great that you gave it to your Dad!

Great looking sharpening stone. Very handy to keep with you or in a vehicle
Thanks Jason. Yes the small format makes it easy to take with you and easy to use.
Good simple way to get a working edge on aknife. Have one in my work bag use it regularly. Thanks for the video 😊

Agree totally. Great for a quick touch up to a blade edge. I need to sort out a good mini strop to pop in my bag too.
I keep thinking about picking one of these up.
It is perfect for small knives with softer steels like Victorinox.

Thanks you too - for your lovely comments. This is my favourite sharpener.
I have 3 of them...love em.. they are great for edc
Definitely! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing about this handy gizmo, it seems like a great tool for keeping your SAKs sharp on the go. 👍Take care my friend and Cheers!
Thanks Dave! This works with most of my knives except this with really hard steels that need a diamond stone...
Have one of those Mark, cheap and cheerful, does the job and slips easily in to a pocket or bag
Thanks. I have tried a few other pocket sharpeners and always come back to this one...
I have and use mine more than any of my other sharpening kits/stones! So convenient! Works awesome. 👍 Keep up the great videos! (BoogerMcGee) 😉👍
Thanks Booger... It is awesome for it's size and ease of use!
I have one and like it very much especially for SAKs
Thanks Kathleen. Yes.. It seems perfect for SAKs...
