Good Product

Good product for the price. It does provide a quick and easy "utility-grade" sharpening. However, it is no substitute for an old-fashioned (but time consuming) hand sharpening using stones.

Sharpness for knives.... eh kinda

2007-05-08
Check out the sports & outdoors section at a Megamart for one of those $3 two-slot knife sharpeners for a better edge on a blade.

Okay

It was a good buy, yet doesn't get my knives as sharp as I'd like them.

Buy This! Not a new Knife!

I bought my first Fiskar sharpener from the owner of MAC knives. He told me that this was all I needed as a professional chef to keep my knives sharp and in top shape as to angle, knicks, ect.... He was right. Don't pass this up. You really do not need anything else. No kidding and just $12.00. Chef Mark

knives and axes?

2006-09-20
eh? You seriously think I'm going to use the same thing to sharpen the Henckels 4 star knives I use to prepare family meals AND the axes I use to chop wood?

Seriously. This sharpener will reset just about any blunted knife or axe to a finely honed edge.

It does just a good a job on a fine filleting knife as it does on my favorte chopping axe - I just have to remember to clean it before I switch uses.

Now if only they made a lawnmower that could julienne vegetables....

Better than electric!

Several years ago, I bought an electric sharpening system for around $40 and was never very impressed. This Fiskars sharpener is 10 times better! It puts a razor-like edge on my knives with very little effort. I took it to my mother's house to do her knives, and all she could say was "WOW!" I would recommend this item to all.

A Reasonable Substitute for a Whetstone

2008-04-04
If one really wants to put a razor sharp edge on an axe or knife, a set of diamond whetstones is the best way to do it. This painstaking manual process requires time and proper technique. Beware: a razor sharp edge is exactly that and not to be trifled with. On the other hand, if "pretty darn sharp" is good enough...and it should be for most utility purposes...a dedicated sharpening tool like the Fiskars will get the job done quickly and with minimum risk to one's fingers. There are a number of similar products on the market. This one comes from a reputable manufacturer at a good price point.

fiskars sharpener...dang!

sonuvabitch! everyone should have one of these sharpeners for knives and hatchets. i will also take some of this time to promote the sport of disc golf. it is the most fun you will ever have, and it is way cheaper than regular golf...google it and look for a park near you that has some baskets.

Great companion for your4 Fiskars Axe!

This product is well made and does what it's supposed to with ease. It's far superior to other axe sharpeners I owned. I'd recommend it to everyone who puts their axe through it's paces. It's quick and easy to use, saving you time for chopping.
