I want one that was small enough to store in my kitchen drawer, take on fishing trips, etc., but could still allow me to put a nice sharp edge on my knives, and would stay flat and not wear down like stones tend to do. I also wanted one that I could use on my wood chisels and other tools such as axe as well. Problem was, I have struck out until I found this SHARPAL sharpener. I used it dry (no water or oil) and it worked great, although I might try using a little dish detergent sometime in the future to help remove metal from the sharpener. All the knives I sharpened had a razor sharp edge and all it took was 3-6 strokes on the extra fine side (except one, which required the coarse then the extra fine; its edge needed more attention). Both sides are labeled with the grit stamped into a rubber stop right above the handle. The leather sheath, which also acts as a strop, was a bonus. I applied my green compound to the leather strop and it worked great, polishing and honing the edge to a higher level. The paracord wrapped around the handle will also come in handy in a pinch in the backcountry. The entire sharpener, including the handle, is about 8-1/2 inches long which makes packing it for a trip easy. Overall a great item. Review: Incredibly useful and time-saving - Until now, sharpening has largely been an exercise of holding the stone still while you moved the blade across it. This isn’t practical with many tools like shears or other large blades. Previously I gripped a whetstone while I glided it across the blade, limited by fear of cutting fingers. This solution gives you a handle that eliminates exposure, with two excellent diamond grits - 325 and 1200. It’s made for the hand, saves time, and works on formerly inaccessible areas like where the scissor blades come together. Plus it’s highly durable and packs away easily. Oh I forgot to mention the leather sheath works serves as a final honing step with two sides. Sometimes you come across a tool that not only replaces others but also works better. This one is lightweight and slips into a rear pocket or pouch. I can see why they can offer a 30-day return for any reason. The only vested interest I have in this tool is sharper blades. ## Features - FAST, Durable: Industrial monocrystalline diamonds are electroplated onto a stainless steel base.

Testing shows minimal difference in sharpening performance between using oil and dry sharpening, so oil is not necessary. **Q: After using the stone, dark areas appear on its surface. Does this mean the diamonds have worn off?** A: No, the dark areas are dried dirt from sharpening, not a sign of the diamonds wearing off. These marks don’t affect performance and can be left as is. For minor marks, use an eraser. For tough stains, clean with Bar Keepers Friend and air dry fully. **Q: Should I use high pressure when sharpening with this diamond stone?** A: Avoid applying excessive pressure when sharpening, as it can accelerate wear on the diamond and shorten its lifespan. Instead, use light pressure to maximize the sharpening performance of the diamond particles. **Q: How long does it last?** A: The lifespan depends on usage, the hardness of the materials being sharpened, and maintenance. With proper care, it can last many years, even for those sharpening 3 to 4 times a week. Regular cleaning and light pressure extend its durability. **Q: What is the cause of the rust and how can I deal with it?** A: The base of this product is stainless steel and will not rust. Any rust is caused by iron filings left on the stone's surface that oxidize if not cleaned. Use Bar Keepers Friend powder to clean it and ensure the stone is fully air-dried. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good produce *by C***G on May 16, 2019* I have been looking for a dual grit (coarse and fine) diamond sharpener for about a month.
