5.0 out of 5 stars Very Effective, March 3, 2006

BILL "Great White Hunter" (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This knife sharpener does everything it says! But it doesn't stay coarse very long. I mean, I sharpen my work knives a lot! Atleast once a day. It still sharpens my work knives, and they stay sharp! I use my knives for everything! From chipping, cutting, poking holes in anything ,opening paint cans, to cleaning under my fingernails! I have bought a couple more and I would support this item 100%.

Basically...Very effective knife sharpener! Would definitely recommed to anyone. I let my friends at work sharpen their knives and they ask me where to get one.

This review is from: Gerber 09841 Diamond Knife Sharpener (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Gerber diamond knife sharpener looks and feels just like a ball point pen. With its pocket clip, it's easy to put in your shirt pocket so it will be available if and when you need it in the field.

The sharpener is actually a piece of metal barstock that has a thin coating of diamond grit. The action part of the tool is extended out of the barrel to a length of 2-5/8 inches and tightened with a knurled nut. It has been ground flat on one side and is half-round on the other side with a lengthwise groove for sharpening fish hooks. The protective barrel seems to be made from an aluminum alloy and also serves as the grip for the tool. As such, it helps keep your hand and fingers away from the business end of your knife blade.

The best use I've found for this sharpener is touching up a fine blade that's just a little dull while the half-round side is the only tool I've been able to use for working on a serrated hunting blade. It's possible to get a little aggressive with the sharpener without putting scratches across the blade like I've done with a sharpening stone. I haven't used it long enough to find out how long it will last, but it is well made.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Rough Jobs, June 23, 2010

This sharpener is cheap and effective for rough jobs. I use it mainly for my utility knife that I abuse and this quickly puts a decent edge back on it. If you are looking for a shaving edge though, you will have to use a finer sharpener. This will not get a blade to a shaving edge.
