I love this thing, but I understand what it is. If you want REALLY sharp knives for quality work, this is NOT the tool to use. If you want to put a razor edge on something, this is NOT the tool to use. A good set of stones that gets you above 8000grit (or more) will create a truly fine edge - but this is not for that.
This tool is for quick sharpening of utilitarian edges. Utility knives, oft-used chopping knives, camping knives, and other blades that see heavy, rough, or dirty use are restored to excellent working condition in seconds using this tool. The tool itself is metal, hefty, and FEELS good - unlike many other inexpensive (and plastic) sharpening devices. I love the angle selections since I have different blades sharpened differently for different tasks and it is simple to use (unlike the gimmicky devices with angle adjustments). I actually plan on ordering a couple more (one for the car/camping, one for the kitchen, one for the toolbox).
If I had one wish - I wish the ceramic were a bit better - a fold-out rod would be great. The short length and fixed position of the ceramic makes it difficult to finely hone an edge with it. I believe Lansky makes a sharpener with a fold-out rod, but it does not have the multiple sharpening angles. Lansky - if you make this tool with a both the multi-angle sharpeners AND a fold-out rod, I will buy it.
Everyone else - this is bar-none the best quick-sharpener I have ever seen.

How to Use Your Lansky QuadSharp Multi-angle Pocket Sharpener
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Using the Pull Through FeatureHolding the knife with your dominant hand, and using the other hand to hold the sharpener: pull the knife through the desired angle slot. Just three or four strokes using moderate pressure will restore your blade. Rinse blade thoroughly after sharpening. |
Using the Ceramic BenchstoneThe medium (800) grit ceramic element should be used in a benchstone type fashion, or like a butcher steel. The Ceramic Benchstone is harder than steel, will never wear out, and can be used often as the primary sharpening element of your QuadSharp. The Ceramic Benchstone is also tapered for sharpening serrated knives. (Pro-Tip : Extremely dull blades should be re-profiled in one of the carbide slots before using the ceramic benchstone). |
Sharpening SerrationsSharpen one serration at a time by pulling the ceramic element against the grooved side of the serration. For larger serrations: use a rolling motion to sweep the corner of the sharpener from one side of the serration to the other. Repeat until serration is sharp then move to the next serration. |

THE best pocket sharpener I’ve used!
Needed something with multiple angles because not every pocket knife is the same thickness. I kept using the same cheaper ones with 1 ceramic and 1 steel side. As soon as I used a slightly thicker blade on it consistently, hard to sharpen anything thinner. Worked like butter, got 5 knives sharp as a razor in about 10 minutes! For anyone who doesn’t know when you use these, clean your knife first. Draw your blade back in a straight consistent line. Smooth movement. Mostly use only the weight of the knife, don’t press into it you’ll F you’re knife up. And make sure not to press hard on the end with the tip. Don’t tilt down in it too much try and keep it level with the tool. Hope this helps guys!

Amazing blade sharpener that's easy to use and makes you feel like a pro!
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021
I used this tool to sharpen my "everyday" duty knives and our kitchen knives that's a must when you have a wife and four daughters that loves to cook. I never thougt that using the Lansky QSharp can be that easy and gratifying. I like its size that allows me to carry it in my pocket and yet hefty enough and constructed with a very good balance that allows uniform sharpening motions. I was surprised that this can stand not only on a firm flat surface but on soft and uneven surface (like your bed) as shown in the picture. The first picture shows the everyday duty knives that i carry at work or around the house being a facility maintenance guy. Almost all but one will not easily slice through paper before I used the Lansky Qsharp. Two of these blades are over 25 years old. Can you guess which one (Steinbrucke, Buck, SOG or Leather Wave)? If you like knives, i highly recommend that you consider including this in your toolbox.
