Work Sharp Folding Field Sharpener™

Love this handy little sharpening device.

PROs: Slips into my pocket or my pack. It’s so small and light, perfect for EDC. Sharpened my small Swiss Army knife from dull to shaving sharp in under 2 minutes. Ideal for small blades and (while, in my hands, good, but not perfect for medium sized plain edged blades), it is a handy sharpener to have with you on a daily basis for small and medium sized blades, as well as for “touch-ups” on scissors.

CONs: Not ideal for serrated blades or larger plain-edged blades, but that is why I own a Work Sharp Rolling Sharpener, a Professional Precision Adjust Sharpener, and my own tapered diamond and ceramic rods.

Suggestion: it would be helpful if, in the future, Work Sharp could incorporate tapered diamond and/or ceramic rods (like in the Angle Set Sharpener) for use on blades with serrations, with the Folding Field Sharpeners while “on the go.”😀

Great little pocket sharpener.

Is it as good as the Precision Adjust Pro? Obviously not.

Does it have the grit options and strop of the guided field sharpener? Also no.

Is it able to put a fantastic razor edge on your blade wherever you are and also small and light enough to barely notice it?

Absolutely.

I just wish it was 20 bucks instead of 30.

Other than that, it's just about s good as it gets for the size.

I bought this Sharpener for my husband, and this is his review:

I have the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener and it works great at home, but it's not something that I can EDC, so when I first saw this Work Sharp Folding Field Sharpener with a pocket clip, and because I don't already carry enough stuff clipped inside my pockets, I just couldn't resist buying one. It's very inexpensive right from the manufacturer at $34.95, including shipping at the time of this writing. USPS shipping time was surprisingly pretty descent. I ordered it on Thu, Aug 8 at 6:45 AM, and it arrived yesterday on the 12th. One side has a 400-grit diamond plate with 20° sharpening guides, and the other side has a ceramic plate with 25° honing guides. I've already used the ceramic plate a few times to touch up the edge of one of my EDC knives (shown in the photo). My only complaint, and the reason for only the four star rating, is that I wish the pocket clip was a bit stiffer. It's slim, light, and, in my opinion, super convenient. If you're considering buying one but haven't yet, I highly recommend it!
