I like these diamond file sharpener, and it's handy to have two different roughnesses to sharpen my tools. I use them for pruners and knives, and while it takes a little while to get the hang of using them (you generally have to take apart your pruners to get the best angle), these Diafold's do the job well and don't easily break, though they wear down pretty fast if you use them a lot.

This diafold is a "must have" if you want to sharpen a damaged blade or reprofile an existing edge. Use with the Magna-guide to establish an edge that looks like a factory grind.

This stone is a must if you ever plan on re-profiling a blade. I recently used it to get a big nick out of a clever. It took about 5-10 minutes on the extra coarse side but it was a pretty big nick. Once the re-profiling was done i moved up through the finer grits and had it sharpened in no time.
