Thanks @MrSharp for an easy to follow guide, I've just been given an early valentines Swiss Army knife and it's been so relaxing just sharpening it up with the Victorinox. It's slicing through paper like butter now 😁👍
Mr sharp i know i am commenting over a year when you posted this but you helped me to learn how to sharpen a knife on the victorinox sharpener,its cheap (15€) and yeah thank you
It is a short tool but works quite well on all of my swiss army knives and most other traditional knives. I have a few heavy users that require a guided stone sharpening every now and then but for most pocket knives this is the perfect pocket sharpening tool.
During my service I used to simply sharpen my pocket knives against the very smooth and shiny blade of my bayonet every time I used it. It was razor sharp as long I did this.
Mr sharp I've been using the victorinox dual knife sharpener for many years now and it's all i use I've got a few of them and I've even cut one of those in half for my EDC and it works perfect with my work knife the victorinox fieldmasder fantastic little bit of kit don't forget to keep it sharp my friend 👊✌️👍
Hello William🖐Yes i think every sak owner should have one. i'm glad that i gave it another chance, because i didn't expect this result. I also had it for years. My first experience with it, was reprofiling a bevel and that wasn't a good idea at all. it's great for lining the edge and to keep it sharp, not really for reprofiling. That's what i learned about it. *Thanks again for your support* 👍 Greetings 🖐
@@MrSharp ja is een heel goed dingetje. En ook super makkelijk om te gebruiken. Geen ingewikkelde hersenchirurgie dingen. Gewoon je mesblad erop en gaan. Kan niet mis gaan.
Another good video, thanks or your efforts. I am a fan and collector of Swiss Army knives both Victorinox & Wenger. I sure wish Victorinox since they are the only one left would create more new and varied models. Wenger came up with many interesting & unique tools, is it not time for Victorinox to follow suit.
*Thanks a lot for your support!* 👍 I bet Victorinox and the Délémont collection will keep on innovating with specialized saks and special editions. So we can collect for ever and ever, not?🙃👍 Cheers, Bart 🖐
Good grief, I've owned once for about 3 years, never heard it call a "dual" sharpener so didn't know about the ceramic sharpener in the lid!! :) NOW I can get them sharp, thanks :)
Actualy after i am sharpening with the stone part is always sharper than after i am pulling down with the ceramic blades. So the ceramic part just make it duller than the stone. So after the stone u are just ruining.
Just lightly run it across once or twice to remove burrs I have seen the ceramic blades used to sharpen serrated blades I am not sure how effective it is though.
I use the Vic small honing rod. That looks like a great touch up sharpener. I sure hope my Explorer doesn't see this video, or I'm gonna be in trouble. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Usually, these kind of sharpener stones are used with water. (By making it wet first, then applying the knife to the wet sharpener). Why don't we use this one with water? It is not common to sharpen knives dry.
Can you make a video on how to sharpen a serrated victorinox knife like the skippet pro with this sharpener? I want to buy the skipper pro but don't know how i would sharpen it
I wish it came with a way to stand it up (maybe a notch the fine sharpener could fit into) so it could do gravity fixed-angle sharpening like the sharpmaker.
Great little thing, it's been in my pocket for more than 12 years. Don't bother with V notch, just strop a higher angle on the thinner sides. Also, not really suitable for super steels (takes way too long to get any results).
I'm not sure, but i guess around 600 grid or so. I didn't expect that the ceramic notch works excellent as well, when you don't have a strop in the outdoors. *Thanks for tuning in* Much appreciated sir 👍Greetings, Bart👋
common why evrybody useing it in the opposite way? i make my knife sharp with the rod part and with the v shape ceramic part u just make it wors and more dull.......but the v shape part can reprofile ur blade and wit a few strike on the rod u can make it even sharper.
Just bought 1 the other day and used it on a knife then dropped it & the stone broke in 3 pieces. Just got my second one and will not be dropping this one.
I feel stupid saying this I’ve been trying to sharpen my Swiss champ and Swiss work and it just gets worse. It’s th 20 degree angle but still I just can seem to get it I don’t know why ?
Without seeing the condition that your blades are in and how you're using the sharpener, it's difficult to diagnose the problem, but I'm an experienced knife sharpener and I can confirm that this Victorinox tool is quite effective if used properly. However, all sharpening requires practice, and it took me a long time to get to a point where I felt fully skilled with several different methods, including oilstones, the Lansky fixed-angle system, diamond and ceramic rods, leather strops, honing steels etc. The best thing I can suggest is maybe finding someone local to you who is skilled at sharpening, and getting some advice or a demonstration from them - maybe a butcher or a woodworker? If that's not possible, then look at more videos, keep practicing, and maybe try a different system. This pen sharpener is fine, but it's really best for quick touch-up sharpening - for creating a whole new edge, you might do better with a Lansky kit or similar, then using the pen sharpener to maintain the edge. I hope this is helpful advice.
*Welcome to you!* What's your favorite field sharpener for your pocket knives? We can all learn from it 👍
Victorinox cost 1200/-
Normal good local stones(wet)cost 100/-
Good to go with 100/-
It works really well on kitchen knives, when you prep food just a few strokes and easy cutting. Well worth the money.
*Yes Tim* 👍i'm convinced now. Thanks a lot for tuning in! Greetings, Bart 👋
is it good for tactical knife.?

I tried a Wheatstone and it’s was ok but not great. Tried this and it works great!!
I had no idea how to use the ceramic part. Thanks for explaining so well😊
It is a short tool but works quite well on all of my swiss army knives and most other traditional knives. I have a few heavy users that require a guided stone sharpening every now and then but for most pocket knives this is the perfect pocket sharpening tool.
*Thanks again for your support* 👍 It's a handy and lightweighted sharpener for sure. High five for your feedback. Greetings, Bart 👋
Yeah it's not a sharpener for m390 of D2 i guess.👍

My favorite field sharpener is the fällkniven dc3. But this victorinox sharpener is absolutely my second best field sharpener! 👌

*Thanks Jay* !👍 it's perfect for camping an light weighted too. Cheers, Bart👊😀👍
I also have this sharpener for on the go. Great tool, works wonders
@@wayofthesamurai90 I think I have had two or three of these. Got my first one in 1978. They are very handy to have around.
Wow, I had one before..and didn't know that the ceramic side can slip into the handle. Nice tips. Gonna get a new one..

Good Video. Gonna order this today 👍🏼
How much pressure do you put on the knife when sharpening?
Nice work 👍🏻
One thing that I do is to use the ceramic notch until the blade glides on it so I know for sure that is perfect
Isn't honing the last step?
Great video! Now let's do one on victorianox nail cutter and try clipping your nails and tell us how it feels.
Can 3mm thick blade fit into the notch?
Can you sharpen carbon steel blades with this sharpener?
Would this sharpener be OK for larger knives? Have a victorinox santoku and just got gifted this sharpener
How do you hold a consistent 20 degrees? This is the bit I can never do.
I only lock my wrist and i see how the edge falls on the sharpener
Hi, and about lifetime's stone sharpener ? thanks
Can you make a video on how to sharpen a serrated victorinox knife like the skippet pro with this sharpener? I want to buy the skipper pro but don't know how i would sharpen it
You can buy a compact sharpening stone made for guided systems instead. It can be both better and cheaper.
Great tip!👍 Thanks for sharing your tips. Much appreciated. Cheers Bart 👋

Yes Sir. I totally agree with you. It's a fieldsharpener. The best sharpener is the one you have with you👊🧑🎄👍
Thanks new subscriber ✌🏻
So how much is the grit level of this sharpener? 400, 1000, 3000... 8000...?
Great video! Thanks.
Ma si usa a secco o con acqua? Fammelo sapere.
Cool
What is the grit size of the grinding stone?
I'm not sure, but i guess around 600 grid or so. I didn't expect that the ceramic notch works excellent as well, when you don't have a strop in the outdoors. *Thanks for tuning in* Much appreciated sir 👍Greetings, Bart👋
@@MrSharp 600 grit (JIS) should be quite close. I think I read in a forum that Victorinox gave the grit as 360 (FEPA); that would be ~700 JIS.
@@schnitzschlumpf4095 Thanks for your input 👊😃👍
My experienc is with the stone part i can scharpening it sharper than woth the ceramic disc part that make just doll again
Do you find it is a bit more difficult to sharpen the very tip?
Yes it's not ideal for EDC use, but it's the best and compact sharpener you have in your backpack
Can it be used for blades longer than 22cm?
It's possible but i wouldn't reccomend it. 👊😉👍
Does it bring back factory sharpness?
Not really but it's still the best fieldsharpener 👍😊👊

is it better than carbide sharpener.?
Hey thanks for tuning in 👍 i have no idea because i don't have a carbide sharpener. Cheers 👋
You think it will work for any knife?
For smaller blades Yes👊😃👍
How much sir your sharpener victorinox?
About 15 dollar 👊😊👍

I really don’t know what goes on here, but the V ceramic notch kills the blade edge when I use it.
yeah exactly same. maybe the ceramic part is for repairing small bends and hone the blade once damaged?
Use a light touch. Pressure will dull the knife.
Come si pulsce lafilatore.
You arent even getting full strokes in! Without running the entire blade on the stone there is no way youre getting that sharp!
🤣
Welcome 👊😃👍
I bought it. Useless.
