Have fun, will travel...

Posted by Stevo on 26th Aug 2018

This little steel is excellent for use while traveling. It's convenient and just big enough to be useful yet adds almost nothing to luggage weight and its bulk is hardly worth considering. So you can keep your SAK or other cutlery in tip top shape on the road or in your hotel room. Just use it with a light touch and with sensible precautions for personal safety, and it performs beautifully! It seems to work best with many llghter strokes rather than a few forced efforts. It's only a little steel after all. Tiny but tidy, and highly recommended! HH, merci beaucoup!

Small but perfectly formed

Small but works perfectly add this to a No8 and a sheath and you have a lovely present that just all works together. That is how I received mine earlier this year, every country walk now its my go to package.

USELESS

After a few strokes on my Opinel there were gouges in the ribs of the sharpener, so I returned it to HH. It may well be that this was a one-off, or a 'late Friday afternoon batch'. But that's my experience of this item

Works well for it's size

Posted by Garrett on 30th Nov 2014

Whoops! I didn't clock the size and I expected this to be around 12in so when it arrived i was a little perplexed at the tiny packaging. It's a bit tricky to use but I can get a decent edge with it. It is super portable and lightweight so I threw it in the toolbox for my work knives.

Very handy

Posted by Derek W. on 25th Jun 2014

I have had my Opinel steel for a few weeks and used it to improve a few slightly dodgy edges. It's small and light enough not to be a burden but its size does limit its usefulness, as has been mentioned by other reviewers. However, I have managed to get good results using it and the bonus is that it fits into any size of pack. Not the final sharpening solution, but very good for the size and cost.

Mixxed Feelings

Posted by Ed Schembri on 28th Mar 2013

Although there are great reviews about this sharpening steel, the one I received wasn't very good; along the surface of the steel there were raised edges, much coarser than the rest of the surface, which ground at the blade in a coarser fashion, resulting in an uneven sharpen. I'm doing research to find out how to remove these, but having owned the Lansky Tactical Sharpener, although its larger size, the quality is higher.
