Work Sharp EDC Pivot Plus Knife Sharpener Black

5.0 out of 5 stars — Simple, Effective, and Hard to Beat for the Price I picked up the Work Sharp Portable Pivot Knife Sharpener not expecting much, but it honestly punches way above its weight. If you’re looking for something quick, compact, and easy to use, this gets the job done without any fuss. The guided angles make it pretty much foolproof—no guesswork, no learning curve. A few passes and you’re back to a clean, usable edge. It’s not trying to be a high end precision system, but that’s kind of the point. It’s fast, consistent, and works exactly how you want a portable sharpener to work. Build quality is solid for the price, and the size makes it easy to toss in a drawer, toolbox, or even take camping. I’ve used it on kitchen knives and a couple of beat up utility blades, and it brought them back to life with minimal effort. If you’re expecting mirror-polished edges, look elsewhere. But if you want a reliable, no-nonsense sharpener that actually works and doesn’t cost much, this is a no-brainer. For the price, it’s an easy 5 stars.

I bought this to sharpen my serrated kitchen knives and, in this area, it is very useful. The tapered shape of the rod makes it very easy. I've only limited use with the pull through convex carbide feature with a pocketknife that needed some sharpening. It worked really well but probably could get a little sharper with some touching up on a strop. If you're out camping it would make great emergency accessory. Personally, I carry the Work Sharp guided field sharpener for this purpose, but for the price of this item it is definitely worth it. I don't think kitchen knives, especially from Japan, should be sharpened with this device since the sharpening angle is set at 25 degrees.

This sharpener is fantastic when it comes to sharpening high carbon blades. I have a Japanese santoku kitchen knife that badly needed sharpening, and this little sharpener got it back to razor level in very few passes. However, when I started trying to use it on other steels with my everyday carry knife and others, I got varied results. 440 Stainless was right in the middle of difficulty to get sharp. And right behind that, softer steels like 420 (or 420J2, 420HC) took many passes and a lot of time get a good edge to take and hold. I don't mind putting in the extra work to get my blades back up to code, but I was surprised as to how different each steel type reacted to the carbide. This is my first time using a carbide sharpener, so I don't know if this is normal or not. Either way, it does the job very well as long as you're willing to put in the extra effort on the softer steels. This could be a 5 star sharpener, but the only reason I have to knock a star off is because of the placement of the red carbide adjuster switch on the top. Because of it's location, the rubber grip that is glued around it is very thin because it takes up most of the space, and when using the honing side, the one side isn't as grippy. The overall design of this sharpener is great though, but I don't understand why they didn't choose to put the selector switch on the front face of the body. On a side note, the packaging is very well done. Whoever they have doing the marketing did a great job. It's super tough, and I had a good laugh trying to use my very dull every day carry to open it. I could barely get through the plastic bubble to get to the sharpener, the very thing I needed to get it sharp in the first place. I don't say this negatively. It was just the irony of it and was pretty funny. Overall, this is a fine sharpener for most needs at a fantastic price point.

The quality is excellent.The speed is 10 strokes on each side. Very easy to use. Versatility , from a knife to an axe quickly. I would definitely recommend for bugout bag 🎒

Honestly pretty impressed with this. I had great results on my Leatherman Rev. is it as good as a professional sharpening or a real whetstone, no. But it’s inexpensive and easy to use, and gives good enough results for me to recommend.

Unfortunately for me the sharpener arrived with a factory defect / malfunction. When the device was prepared by the manufacturer plastic that holds the sharpening blades protrudes the blades and doesn't allow the blade to access the contact point. So the only thing I can use is the home and the diamond rod for serrated knives. I didn't send it back cuz it would cost more to send it back then it would to just buy another. But being so expensive I don't think I'll buy another. Not on the seller of course this is a manufacturers defect. Although work Sharp sharpeners are quite expensive compared to others. They are high quality but I think price is these days are just hyperinflated so unfortunately I can't give a review on how well it sharpens the home seems to work good then the diamond rod as well. It's a sad thing cuz I have other work Sharp sharpeners and they work well but yet again quite expensive

I would have to say thst after this arriving & watching the quick video of proper way to use it. It is amazing. Hands down. Best pocket sharpener i have ever owned in my life. And I've had many. The course stone adjustments from unstable to firm to get burs off then sharpen are great. Then to the ceramic to hone blade. Running it through 5 times each is perfect. You get a well precision sharp blade every time! Gonna by another for travel. Maybe some more for gifts.

This works great at sharpening our knives! I didn't have much hope for it's usefulness because it's so small, but it really does work. Very easy to use

Good

Doesn't sharpen very well and is a lot smaller than it looks. Not recommended.

J adore
