        Decent product. Sharpens the blade and gets the job done. Really disappointed that it is not made in the USA. Very convenient and the small size is great except it does lead to hand cramps.

          Comments about Smith's Two-Step Pocket Sharpener:

          I was disappointed to read the packaging after purchasing this item to see that it was "designed in the USA, made in China". It works well, I'm just not fond of buying anything made in China if there's any possible alternative.

            Doesn't work on thicker blades and hatchets. Other than that I highly recommend it, with in a few swipes on the fine side I slit my finger open. Didn't realize it was that effective.

            Comments about Smith's Two-Step Pocket Sharpener:

            Super easy and fast to use. Takes a dull knife to fairly sharp in no time.

            This sharpener isn't going to create scalpels out of your pocket knives, but it should be sharp enough for 99% of regular use. So, if you're looking for a sharpening kit that lets you put an edge so keen on your pocket knife that you could shave and perform minor surgeries then I'd say you should probably buy something else. –But if you're a regular guy like me that just needs to cut random things and you'd like to keep your pocket knife pretty sharp than this is the tool for you. –Buy it now.

                well its only good to use if your blade is REALLY dull, if you blade still has a good cutting edge, do not use this sharpener because its has actully dulled some of my blades and on my benchmade it not only dulled it but also nicked my blade, use only on your cheaper knives so you wont freak out when they get messed up or dulled.I would recommed getting a sharpening stone instead. Smith brand stones are nice ones.

                  I have searched the planet for the perfect sharpener for years. I've bought cheap ones, electric one, stone and ceramic ones. This one is the best I have come across so far. I use it camping and I have one for my kitchen knives. It's not the perfect edge, but it's better than anything else I have come across, and I've come across a lot! It gets my knives sharp enough to cut a ripe tomato without squishing it. And the edge stays longer.

                    I have used it to sharpen everything from machetes to dive knives to mini knives. It is small and handy enough to stash almost anywhere, so you have it easily accessible whenever you want it.

                    It can be a little hard to hold onto if you don't have fingers that are a little nimble. But overall a great and easy to use product.

                      Use this sharpener on everything from my machete to kitchen knives. Works quickly and produces a very clean edge. Could use a larger handle area for hand sharpening, but works well when placed on table or counter.
