Honoson 2 Pcs Diamond Retractable Sharpening Rod Kitchen, Silver, Black

I bought these for my boyfriend because, let’s be honest, a man with a dull knife is just a man carrying a very shiny spoon. The "Do-It-All" Rod: These things are like the MacGyver of the tool world. One minute it’s sharpening a kitchen knife on the flat side, the next it’s fixing a fish hook in that little groove (for whenever he finally goes on that fishing trip he talks about), and then—the real party trick—it has a pointed end for serrated blades or chainsaw teeth. It’s basically a diamond-encrusted magic wand for anything with an edge. The "Two-for-One" Special: It comes in a 2-pack, which is the greatest gift you can give to someone with ADHD. One for the kitchen, one for the "adventure bag." Or, in our case, one for him to use and one for him to inevitably misplace and then find three months later in a coat pocket. The Retractable Factor: They retract into themselves like a fancy pen, so they don't tear up the inside of his pockets or his new leather sheath. It’s sleek, it’s portable, and it doesn't look like a bulky industrial tool. Final Verdict: If your partner has a collection of knives that couldn't cut through warm butter, get him these. For the price, you get two "survival sticks" that make him feel like a professional woodsman every time he touches up a blade.

These are a great little thing to have. I just received it yesterday, but I've already touched up a few tools for the garden and lawn, as well as my daily carry knife. This is not for fixing a damaged blade, or making a show stopping hair popping edge, but it get the edge you had back to use able if you're using your tool all day, dulled it and need it to work again. Pretty handy tool, I like the size and the multiple functions. Headed fishing tomorrow night, we'll see if it holds up for that trip, filet knives, hooks, pocket knives.... It will be tested!!!

Great 2 piece set. They function as expected. Diamond are great for filling down metal and the 2 sides (pointy and flat) both work well. -1 star because the knurled collar retainers are a little flimsy and require extra tightening to keep the shaft in place.

I have been using these for well over 25 years and they are excellent for bringing a knife edge back to life. I would never be with out one in fact I have three of them. In different locations great product.

I keep one in my tackle box and my trout waders. The use it for hunting in the off season. Very handy for sharpening hooks and touching up a hunting knife. I would not use it if the knife is really dull, use a professional sharpener. This is handy to just touch up the knife edge. Works on serrated blades. Most of the time I use it for fishing hooks. I hate missing a fish.

Real good sharpener best pocket tool i owen

It works for sharpening my knifes small and portable

These sharpening rods are easy to use, I was able to resharpen an old dull knife pretty quickly. While I could get a decent edge on it, it’s not terribly sharp, and can’t even really cut paper. If you just need something small and convenient to quickly sharpen a blade in the field, this is a decent pick. But for serious sharpening, you’ll need better tools.

Works well on those scallop edge knives, does a good job of sharpening.
