Can you use it to sharpen pocket knives?

So long as its not a serrated edge, it should. Straight edges only for this sharpener.

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

Steven, it's an open design. I don't know much about sharpening so if it takes something special for pocket knives it may not work but it has an open design so there's no reason a pocket knife wouldn't fit in the V for sharpening. I only remember my uncle sharpening his with a stone and some type of oil. :)

Absolutely. There should be enough clearance to get the whole blade. Unless of course you have some super unique knife. I've used this a ton since receiving it for both kitchen and pocket knives

I tried it on a couple of pocket knives and I prefer to use a stone on blades that short. I was not able to get a satisfactory 25 degree edge using the Work Sharp.

I would not recommend using a kitchen knife sharpener on a 1" blade. The blade would not be long enough to get a consistent sharp edge.

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

Yes, but a regular flat sharpening stone will do a better job. This tool is really designed for pocket knives and fixed blade hunting knives where the included angle is 30 and 40 degrees.

Yes you can. I love this knife a lot! I do use it daily even thou I have a slew of top quality knives at my disposal.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

Yes, you can sharpen small knives and tools on the Lansky Dual Grit Sharpener. It's just like a regular sharpening stone, but it's shaped like a hockey puck.

Yes you can. It works fantastic. I've used it on my fishing knives and they work like new again.

Hey Jorge, if you are looking for a small sharpener to carry in your pocket to sharpen anything on the fly with then this is it, I've sharpened Axe"s, Hatchets, Knives and also fishing blades with this little gem... to answer your question YES.. it will sharpen just about anything, I would recommend putting the Machetes between your knee's with the handle hitting your stomach, then sharpen with a forward motion away from you, use course side first then the fine ceramic side.. also look at Smith's 50447 4-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone, it run's about $10.00, by using these two products together you will be able to just about sharpen anything to hold a good blade. Well I hope I was of some help with this product... :-)

I don't see why not. I use it to sharpen all kinds of things. Just keep in mind it is a small tool. The sharpening part is 3/4 inch in length.

No, it is good to keep your kitchen knives sharp but to small for machetes and axes. I wanted it for skinning knives because I don't like to take the time to sharpen a knife with a wet stone. It won't get a spinner sharp enough. I did see on sharpener advertised for what you want on Amazon however.

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

You Could depending on your Knives. I don't think it would be the Safest Idea.

I sharpen my lathe tools. I hand sharpen my pocket knife on this but have not bought the holder to do it. I use if I remember correctly the 3000 grit belt for what I do

Yes, it can be used to sharpen turning tools. The belt comes down to the table.

If you are talking about the one in a kitchen to easily sharpen kitchen knives, no. But with all kinds of accessories, you will definitely be able to sharpen anything.
