Pros: Ease of Use, Effectiveness, Overall Quality
Cons: None
really convenient and effective. my most used sharpener now
Easy to maintain constant edge angle in use. Seems reasonably robust and pretty protective from self harm ;-) I hope the surfaces last. I have used it at least weekly, sometimes daily for multiple months so far. Now that I have one, i find that my DMT diamond plates (C-EF) and Japanese water stones (700-10K) are getting a lot less use. I have found that for std. Wusthof/Henckels/Victorinox kitchen knives and SAK, and folders of Aus-8, AUS-10 (and Chinese equivalents), 12C27, and ATS-34, this is really all i need. The finest grit on this sharpener at "1200" (?ANSI), is somewhere around 3000-4000 Japanese grit equivalent, IIRC. That's enough for field and kitchen, for me. For the usual 55-59 Rockwell kitchen knives i find this is better than using a standard steel hone, if used with a light hand to avoid removing too much metal. Glad I bought it, and i hope it lasts. If it got worn out, i would replace it.

All You Need
compact in size yet carries medium, fine and extra fine grit for getting your knives back to work. Well made and easy to use and carry. This is all you need in the field.

Great tool
I had one stolen at an airport. I am so happy to have one again. My knifes are sharperners than ever. Receiving it, I spent an half morning on my kitchen knives, and on my pocket one. Slowly, gently, but firmly. Sharpening, of course.
