This is a good sharpener. I managed to sharpen a Victorinox pocket knife and folding knives made of 14C28N and D2 steel with it to a level that lets them shave arm hair and cut through a sheet of paper. Given my lack of sharpening experience, I think it’s a great choice to start with and to learn on.
Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener is a comprehensive sharpening tool designed for quick and effective use both at home and on field trips. Guides with angles of 20° and 25° make it easy to maintain the proper inclination of the blade during sharpening.
The model is equipped with several working surfaces, including two 2.5 × 10 cm diamond plates. The 220-gradation plate is used for coarse regeneration of severely dulled edges, while the 600-gradation allows for ongoing sharpness maintenance.
The three-position ceramic rod offers fine, coarse settings and a special groove for sharpening fishing hooks. In addition, a small ceramic rod will work well for serrated blades. The finishing and polishing stage is supported by a leather sharpening belt, which allows smoothing the cutting edge.
At the end of the body there is a hole, allowing you to pull a lanyard and conveniently hang the sharpener.

Great sharpener. It's good for learning how to sharpen knives. I had no problem sharpening several old knives with it. I had a dull AUS8 steel knife, now it cuts paper without any problem.

Great sharpener, although a bit too large to take into the field. Luckily, you can remove just the diamond plates and put them in your backpack, which significantly reduces the size.

At first, I was skeptical, but I took the opportunity and bought it for little money – it pleasantly surprised me. It's handy, lightweight, and sharpens very well. The only minus is the lack of a case. The sharpener itself is excellent.
