GANZO Firebird ProSharp Multifunctional Diamond Tungsten Steel Ceramic Sharpener - Double Sided Stone - Outdoor Field Knife Sharpener - Pointed Tools Micro Sharpener - Lightweight, Compact, Handheld

First one of these kind of sharpeners that I've purchased. I love this thing, will be buying more.

Works as it is supposed to.

Nice affordable sharpener for mist knives and scissors.

As with most all Ganzo products you get great value for your dollar. This sharpener is no exception. I have sharpened all my wife’s kitchen knives and a couple of my pocket knives and this Ganzo sharpener is doing great.

It's normal.

So I have a collection of knife sharpening tools. Why you might, (but probably not) ask?I use craft knife blades a lot. Sure the blades are cheap but I hate using them on my miniature crafts for 30 mins only to throw them away when they dull. Seems wasteful and frustrates me that I can't re-use them.I am not a sharpening expert and even after videos online can't get the blade like it was no matter the method.When I saw this it seemed like this sharpener might work, especially for smaller blades. If not, it wouldn't be a shock.And to my surprise it actually did.My small blades were as sharp as they were fresh out of the package. I think it helps that this allows shorter blades to move without the wider part of the knife stopping it (if that makes any sense). For instance most knife sharpening tools are made for larger knives as that is what most people use.This one is so versatile and has different ways to sharpen depending on your tools and dullness.Amazingly sturdy too considering the foundation is hard plastic. The size is approximately 11" by 2.2". So big enough to hold and get a good grip plus plenty of sharpening grit.This is honestly quite amazing considering it's price and how much it can accomplish.I have yet to try sharpening my woodworking tools, but hopefully this does as good on those as it did on little blades that nothing else could sharpen. Very impressed and thankfully won't need to invest in xacto shares.

I got this sharpener for the kitchen, replacing a cheap, worn out old rod. Because of my intended use, I really appreciate the use of food grade plastic.The sharpener comes in a pretty sturdy and attractive box, as opposed to one of those awful plastic blisters, which is always a plus for me. It was very easy to open and start using.This tool has a good amount of heft to it, giving it a decent sense of quality. The plastic handle is a good size and is comfortable to hold. The plastic feels tough and yet a bit springy, with no molding artifacts or any other defects. The tapered construction also makes it less likely to slip out of your hand.I’ve used the 800-grit panel to sharpen a couple of kitchen knives and it worked like a charm. There wasn’t much wear on the stone afterwards. I then used the 400-grit panel to sharpen a small hatchet, which worked well too. The scissor sharpener is a nice bonus and did a good job sharpening an old pair of kitchen scissors for me. I also tried the slot sharpeners with a dull knife which came on a cheap multitool. The tungsten and then ceramic slot did a good job making that thing useful.Anyway, I think that this is a useful and solid quality tool for the money! Recommended!

I used this to sharpen an old pocket knife that had gotten very dull over time. If you start with the rough 400# grit side and then move to the smoother side it does not take long at all to get a nice edge for practical use. If you’re like me, and like your knives to have a razor edge, you will need to run your knife over a leather strop a few times after using the smoother side of the sharpener. It’s not quite a fine enough grit to give you that razor edge. I love how quickly and effortlessly you can make a very dull, or even damaged blade sharp enough for practical use. Unless you plan to use your knife for whittling, which I usually do, there is no need to give it any more of an edge that this can do on its own. I also used the scissors sharpener that’s located in the handle to sharpen an old pair of kitchen scissors. In less than five minutes I had them cutting better than they did brand new! I have not yet tried the tungsten steel or ceramic grinding blade sharpeners located at the top of the handle on both sides. I have found similar designs useful only on blades that have virtually no cutting edge left at all. That isn’t the case with any of my knives, so the Diamond stones were all I needed. I honestly think this sharpener will do a more than adequate job of sharpening any blade unless you’re looking for the razor edge needed for the fine carving of hard wood. Even then, this will get you 95% of the way there. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to keep their kitchen knives, or any other cutting tool, sharp and ready when you need it. I love the convenient design of this sharpener compared to many others I’ve tried over the years. It’s versatile, well designed, compact enough to carry in a backpack or tackle box, and very easy to use! Definitely worth the price!
