CARBIDE & CERMIC SHARPENING SLOTS1. Insert knife blade into the V-shaped slots at a 90-degree angle to the sharpening blades or stones. 2. Pull the knife blade straight back towards you while applying light pressure. 3. Repeat this action until blade is sharp. |
TAPERED DIAMOND ROD: STRAIGHT EDGE1. Always hold the unit with the rod facing down. Place heel of the blade on the diamond rod closest to the unit. 2. Hold blade at a 23-degree angle to the rod. 3. While applying light pressure, push the knife away from you towards the end of the rod. Draw knife down so that the tip of the blade comes off the end of the rod. Repeat this action until blade is sharp. 4. For the other side of the blade, you will need to switch hands holding the sharpener and the knife and repeat step 1 through 3. |
TAPERED DIAMOND ROD: SERRATED EDGE1. Only sharpen the side of your knife edge with the serrations. 2. Hold rod at 23-degree angle to the blade and move it back and forth through each serration until sharp. (serrated edges can also be sharpened using the ceramic sharpening slot) |

Knife purists will tell you that you need an "oil stone" or a "water stone" to put the best edge on high-quality kitchen knives, and I can personally agree with my J.A. Henckels or Victorinox kitchen knives. For those I use a Woodstock SteeleX D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone that I luckily found brand new at a garage sale. But we're talking about speed and convenience here, and that's where the Smith's PP1 sharpener works well.
Likes:
* Very small footprint; easy to carry in a pocket, briefcase or camera bag
* Carbide blades and ceramic finishing stones are reversible and replaceable
* Tapered diamond rod; very convenient for sharpening serrated blade edges
* Package has easy to follow sharpening directions on the back
* Nicely constructed; ergonomic, lightweight and durable
Dislikes:
- Preset sharpening angles on V-shaped sharpening slots may or may not be good for certain blades.
Quick Note on Sharpening Angles:
There are plenty of discussions on the `Net regarding which sharpening angle is best for a given knife. Some say that you should choose an angle of 10° to 30° on each side. Shallower angles make a sharper edge that doesn't last as long, while steeper angles are more durable; I compromise between 17° and 22.5° with my better knives, but the choice is yours. Don't know what angle the Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Sharpener uses, as I haven't see it posted in their description. In any case, if you have an exceptionally good knife, check with the manufacturer's suggestions and specs.
In Use:
In my particular case, I needed to sharpen the serrated blade of my Victorinox Swiss Army One Hand Trekker , an excellent knife that I purchased here in 2008 and finally reviewed in early 2010. This particular knife made me put my other Swiss Army knives away as far as day-to-day functionality goes, yet the serrated blade was losing its effectiveness, probably from too much use over time. It was also gummed up a bit from cutting through packaging tape (and Amazon boxes, etc.) over time.
First cleaned the serrated blade with WD-40, wiped it with a paper towel, then washed, rinsed and dried it. Following the directions on the package, I extended the tapered diamond rod and drew it through each serration, rotating it as the instructions noted. Within minutes the serrated blade was restored. Did the same with the serrated blade on my Gerber Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier , and the sharpness on that blade was easily refurbished as well.
As noted earlier, it's always better to use a water stone on high-quality kitchen knives, but when you need speed and expedience, and the Smith's PP1 sharpener does its job. For a quick touch up with good cutlery, just remember to use the V-shaped slot with the ceramic finishing stones, and do it gently.
I have also used the Smith's Edgeware V-Slot 10-Second Knife and Scissors Sharpener for years as a household handy item for sharpening scissors. Have also used it reshaping a few worn out kitchen knives, and it did the job quite well.
Summary:
For quick and dirty sharpening, the Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener does the job and does it well. For this user, it has worked very well, especially when sharpening a serrated blade by hand, and with that it's a 5-star product. For sharpening straight blades, you may wish learn to use a stone, but as admitted above, I do use this PP1 Pocket Pal when taking the time to use a wet stone is not convenient. If your need is for convenience and speed, then this one is highly recommended.

Advice: Do NOT listen to the video reviewer(s) who complain about it's safety while they are sharpening their knives without holding the sharpener to a solid service and pulling the knife through. Of COURSE it's dangerous if you are sliding this along a blade freehand - Darwin award to those. Be sure you hold the sharpener down on a solid surface (like a countertop) and pull the blade through. This keeps the angles correct for sharpening and your fingers safe from getting in the way!
So happy with the results that I threw my older ceramic sharpener in the trash. Very happy with the results!
