Amazon.com Review
With its three different surfaces (and a little finesse on the chef's part), this tool takes knives through the full sharpening process without requiring any additional blade accessories. The triangular-shaped steel is made of smooth and lightweight ceramic, which is unbreakable, resistant to wearing, and nonporous. On one side, an overlaid nickel plate, embedded with 325-mesh coarse diamond dust, lays ready to restore the edge on a worn blade as the first step in sharpening. A nickel plate covered with a layer of 600-mesh fine-grit diamonds is bonded to another side for realigning the edge to razor sharpness. The third side of the triangular sharpener reveals the ceramic material and completes the final polishing step on a knife's edge.

In addition to offering the three flat sides for sharpening, this triangular tool also three corners or radii of varying sizes. The largest 4.78-millimeter corner is best for finishing edges on fixed knives. The 3.18-millimeter radii works well for folding knives and the slim 1.60-millimeter width provides the precision angle needed to touch up serrated knives or large gouges. A steel should always be longer than the blade it is honing and, at 6 inches long, this sharpener is best for shorter blades, such as paring or utility knives. The sharpener has a 4-inch, black plastic handle that is ridged for a secure grip. This quality product was awarded Blade Magazine's Accessory of the Year Award in 2004 and is covered by DMT under a full replacement policy if it is found to have any defects in workmanship. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

great sharpener
works great, I like having the three stones in one place. I use this with my Global knives and it always gives them a very sharp edge.

I love it too
I haven't been able to shave a corner off mine. (tech geek is either very strong, or caught a crack or had a fault line his, i guess).

This sucker is awesome. it's portable, and works very very fast to put an edge on stuff.
I agree with tech geek about the corners. they are not very abrasive, so only good for honing and polishing the edges.

OMG I love it
Okay first off "virtually indestructible" don't make me laugh, I shaved off a chunk one of the ceramic corners with one of my Cold Steel G.I. Tantos.

I've been able to make razor edge on everything from kitchen knives to an axe(that took awhile).

The corners that make up 3 of the 6 sides suck. Their just ceramic so if your hoping to sharped a high carbon serrated edge get something else.

Great for traveling and occasional honing but not suited for serration or larger blades.
