Dual Knife Sharpener, Swiss Made, Portable, Black/Red

I’m very pleased with this Victorinox Dual Knife Sharpener. It’s compact, lightweight, and extremely easy to use, making it ideal for both home and travel. The dual sharpening system works well — the carbide side quickly restores a dull edge, while the ceramic side smooths and finishes the blade nicely. Build quality is excellent, as you’d expect from a Swiss-made Victorinox product. The sharpener feels sturdy in hand, and the non-slip base provides good stability during use. I especially like how portable it is; it fits easily into a drawer, toolbox, or even a backpack. It sharpens kitchen knives efficiently and brings them back to a noticeably sharp edge with minimal effort. While it’s not designed to replace professional sharpening for heavily damaged blades, it’s perfect for regular maintenance and everyday use. Overall, this is a reliable, well-made knife sharpener that does exactly what it promises. Great value for money and highly recommended for anyone wanting a quick, effective sharpening solution.

This thing is nuts. I tried it on some of my pairing knives and within a few strokes on the blue section and a couple of light passes between the ceramic blades they are as good as when they came out of the Pro cook shop. Very impressive. Beats having to get out the diamond stones and strop. Will definitely keep my companion sharp. Highly recommended.

I bought this to go in my shoulder bag, to sharpen my Swiss Army knife. It’s certainly does that. I expect I will have to clean it regularly to remove some sharpener stone dust. But I do that with a much more expensive spyderco sharpener. I like it. It’s portable and get a blade back to a good edge. Plus, it’s not hugely expensive.

Excellent product. Works well. Convenient size. Recommended seller.

It’s great at sharpening knives , but not so good at buttering bread

Absolutely brilliant. Very easy to use. Just ordered two more so I can keep one in the kitchen and one in my van. You can sharpen at work, in front of the telly, up a mountain, no messing with water or anything, you can use it anywhere without a bench. I've used it to great effect on Pen Knives, Pocket Knives, Kitchen Knives, Sushi Knives, Carving Knives, Hunting Knives, Cutlery Steel, Carbon Steel, Razor Steel, all no problem with excellent results. Few tips : It's not a Chef's Steel, don't try and use it like one. Here's the biggie NEVER USE IT WITH YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE BLADE. Sorry for shouting. Just flip the blade so the edge is away from you and hold the sharpener behind the blade. Pick your angle and sweep left and right like you're shading on a line with a pencil. Don't saw across the blade. Always run along the blade, left right, handle to tip. You don't need to do long full sweeps, just keep it even. Like this it's impossible to cut yourself or scratch the flat of the knife. As the edge apexes you'll start pushing a burr over the apex. Keep flipping sides and reducing pressure until the burr reduces to nothing. If you're not getting a good edge you are either not properly apexed yet or you're using too much pressure and knackering up the apex. The last sweeps should feel like warm butter with a feather pressure. Test the edge on a single sheet of paper, that'll show you where you need to do more work. Scrub deposits off the sharpener on cardboard or a roll of paper. If you want to polish or strop the edge afterwards use a leather belt for razor steel or leather with polishing compound on it for harder steels. Yes, you can do a faster better job with £300 worth of Japanese Whetstones, but come on, are you a Sushi Chef or do you just want your knives to work properly? 🤔😂 Anyway, this is much easier to use on smaller blades and doesn't make a mess.

Knife edges are very sharp with this product .

The sharpener works fairly well, but your never going to get that razor edge. The stone is curved, which makes it hard to get the flat of the bevel at the right angle to preserve the blades edge. It worked fine on a small kitchen knife, and gave a reasonable edge and fairly good sharpness, but nowhere near as good as a flat wet whetstone and strop. Maybe i'm being too fussy, or I'm not using it correctly but i having tried to get that factory sharp edge on my victorinox Army Knives, it seems to come up just short. maybe its me, but the instructions are not existent, save for an unclear simple line diagram printed on the back, which doesn't even explain what the 2 functions are for. something tells me, I'm missing a trick as it is a Victorinox product, for which i have great admiration. The quality is flawless, but it's functionality is questionable. But I think I'm using it wrong, but can't find anywhere including you tube etc, that shows how to use it correctly. Shame as its compact and easily stowed, feels good in the hand, robust etc. Needs better instructions or a link to an official video tutorial.

Ich habe den Victorinox Dual-Messerschärfer als Ergänzung zu meinem Schweizer Taschenmesser gekauft und bin absolut zufrieden. Das kleine Tool ist super handlich, passt in jede Tasche und ist perfekt für unterwegs oder beim Camping. Die Handhabung ist einfach: Eine Seite bietet eine Keramik-V-Schärfung für den schnellen Nachschliff, die andere einen kleinen Schleifstein für feinere Arbeiten. Gerade für Taschenmesser ist das völlig ausreichend und hält die Klinge zuverlässig scharf. Die Qualität wirkt solide, wie man es von Victorinox gewohnt ist, und der Schärfer liegt gut in der Hand. Fazit: Wer ein praktisches, platzsparendes Werkzeug für die schnelle Schärfe zwischendurch sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Top Preis-Leistung und ideal für Outdoor-Fans!

包丁が切れなくなってきたので、以前から気になっていたこちらを購入。見事に切れるようになった。 コンパクトなので爪切りやレザーマンなどにも使える。持ち運ぶことはないが、ペンくらいのサイズなので収納も場所を取らない。 何よりも所有感を満たしてくれる。

Works great in my fishing bag, hooks can be repaired easily , coarse enough to work fast but not create a big burr

Parfait. Format de poche mais aiguise très bien !

Denna lilla "penna" kan ja starkt rekommendera!! Har använt en sådan i många år och vill man finslipa något som avslut så använd denna!! Beställde denna vid lunchtid och fick den levererad dagen efter. Tack för det!!
