I've been a GW customer since the late 70's and am still using handtools from GW that I purchased over 25 years ago. The quality is that good. Great company. The coolest stuff. Thanks again, -NP
Thank you for your conscientious and admirable customer service ethic. Another reason why I shop with you. -Serge
Works on every style of knife - serrated-edge included. The solid carbide sharpening inserts are much harder than any steel and quickly put on a new edge. You can feel it happening, the vacuum base holds the sharpener firmly down on any flat surface, and then a quick release of the clamp lever allows you to put it away. Of the dozens of knife sharpeners we have tested, this is the best value.
Just another attempt at a knife sharpener. Doesn't really sharpen a blade, even to cut cardboard. Cheaper units work just as well as this item. Disappointed! Back to the rotating water grind stone, perfect edge everytime!

A rotating water stone can indeed result in a very keen edge, but not everyone has the skills, experience and nerve to sharpen knives on a grinder of any kind. The SOG Universal Knife Sharpener is intended as a convenient, quick method with which to maintain kitchen and household knives, and it does a great job. Can you shave with your knife afterwards? Maybe not, but you’ll be back to carving roast in the time it would take to walk to your grinder and back.
This sharpener is very easy to use. It has a vacuum base that holds on to the counter allowing greater control over the sharpening process. Sharpens knives quickly as well. It handles all sizes of blades with ease.
