A fine sharpener for serrated & normal blades Feb 17, 2010
The DMT Fine Diamond Serrated Knife Sharpener is useful in the right hands. It comes packaged with instructions on how to sharpen serrated blades. However if you have never sharpened a blade before, I'd suggest practicing on a "lesser" knife rather than pull out the best in the drawer.
The sharpening portion is reasonably long at 4.5" and tapers to allow for different sized serrations. It does have a lightweight feel, but this should not be taken for flimsy. The item folds into its handle for packing or storage in a tool box.
If you were to get one sharpener - this might be it b/c you can sharpen normal blades on this as well as serrated ones.
For your complete honing needs, I'd first recommend the DMT FWFC Double-Sided Diafold Diamond Whetstone Sharpener Fine / Coarse to bring a damaged edge into line (removing nicks & surface variations) then finishing with the DMT FWEF Double Sided Diafold® Diamond Whetstone Sharpener Fine / Extra-Fine for a very sharp, smooth finish.

hone Jun 26, 2009
I've had this thing for many years now. When you're on the fly and don't have time to break out the stone to "sharpen" your knife, open this thing up, and perform a quick "hone" to realign the blade edge. Notice the difference. When it comes to pocket knives, I can sharpen them up pretty good with a dual composite stone. I also have a longer steel for the kitchen knives which I utilize to hone prior to each use. If the knife is of good quality, I'll take it in for professional sharpening. There is a big difference between sharpening and honing. Sharpening remakes the blade's edge. Honing takes that edges imperfections out or realigns the folded over or flat spots. Pull any knife out of your kitcnen drawer, look straight on at the edge, and you'll see light reflecting off of the imperfections, unless you hone prior to putting it away. My opinion, knives banging against each other in a drawer messes them up. That's why I hone prior to use.

Gets the Job Done Jan 17, 2008
I ordered this for my fiance and he loves it. He has sharpened every knife in our house and at his parents. It doesn't look like much, but it definitely puts a sharp edge on any blade.
I ordered this particular one because it is sort of an all purpose, everday sharpener but even though it is only rated fine it still removes small nicks. We are going to buy the DMT ceramic extra-fine sharpener (white handle) too, so he can refine the edges even more.
This was kind of a throw away gift that turned into the best christmas gift of the year for him. I couldn't find any reviews for this product anywhere else, so I hope that this one is helpful.
