Will this sharpener work on good pocket knives?

Sorry that I haven't used it for 'good' pocket knives yet. I believe it has a 20 degree cut from what appear to be sturdy diamond-faced wheels. And the second, manual stropping is at the same angle. I'm no pro, but think it would do well. Why not ask Chef's Choice, since they recommend some of their other sharpeners for specific uses, like serrated? Good luck.

My Husband says, Did not work on his pocket knife due to blade being too thick and angle on pocket knife is different than angle on sharpener.He thinks buy a sharpening stone and that would work better.It does Great on Kitchen Knives, though.

If they are long enough to pull through, I would think so. Short knives would not fit the slit.

Yes it will work well but the blade should be long enough otherwise the handle of the knife will not allow you to draw the full blade through. The area that the blade needs to pass through is approximately 2 1/8" deep. Keep that in mind. You can stretch it a little by tilting the blade up or down. I have sharpened pearing knives with this unit but it is a little tight.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

It'll work on any smooth-edged blade. The blade has to be long enough to pull through the sharpener. I would say any blade 2" or longer should work fine. I sharpen a paring knife on it, which is small and it works just fine.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

Yes, I do. I originally bought this to sharpen some of the Henckel knives I have, but used it on others that were not as expensive and it worked great!

This sharpener will work on non-Wusthof knives. The first stage ("coarse") will provide the angle Wusthof uses. It may take quite a number of passes.

Hello Kullen, any sharpener will do the job thought we strongly recommend Blizetec 3-in-1 knife sharpener. It's best suited to sharpen pocket knife as such. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

It won't hurt, but a sharpener won't improve an inferior product. Invest in good knives.

I think you're better off getting their scissor sharpeners. If it does for shears what it does for knives you will have great results.

The sharpener is NOT for serrated knives. It works fine on all flat blade knives. It's not the best sharpener in the world, but good for the price.

Yes, I sharpen my pocket knives and outdoor knives on it! Get a set of edge pro stones though

Yes, you can, if you handle it correctly, especially large knives and kitchen tools. For REAL precision, please check out http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-PP1-Pocket-Multifunction-Sharpener/dp/B000O8OTNC/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_16310091_b3_3_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=163MAY44QJWDSZT9BEHW It is pocket size and is absolutely awesome. I collect these things, and that one blew me away. The problem here is the sharpening ANGLE, and if you are not precise it will just go it's way. Another important point is HOW you finish your job, INTO or AWAY from the blade. Lots of info on YouTube. Be SHARP !

I am not sure how wide your knife is. However, if it will fit in the sharpener I guarantee it will do the job.

Probably not your best sharpener for a large blade. Works great with small knifes and blades.
