04570000900 Axe and Knife Sharpener, Black, 78616984J, 1

disapointing flimsy plastic feel...sharpens okay but no as good as other sharpeners that are available on the market.

El plástico es grueso y resistente aunque le da un aspecto barato, pero el aspecto es lo de menos en una situación de emergencia, lo que menos importará es si se ve barato o caro cuando necesitas afilar tu hacha o tus cuchillos, el filo qué proporciona es bastante digno, lo probé en mi fiskars y en una hacha de Morakniv y quedaron bestiales!! Si son hombres rudos de montaña, si o si deben tener esto con ustedes amigos. Buena compra.

I have used this sharpener recently on a hatchet, Cold Steel Bolo Machete , regular machete, and Cold Steel Javelin spear. The hatchet took some patience, but it managed to put a very sharp edge on the blade after a while. The plastic housing for the sharpening wheels does not allow a curved edge to be sharpened easily, but with a little work, the blade is now sharp. Where it really came into its usefulness was sharpening the spear and regular machete. It works best while drawing a long, flat blade horizontally across the sharpening wheels. I had a sharp spear in no time, without using a file. It makes a perfect bevel along the blade and negates the use of a file, thus saving metal on the blade. This is a great tool for a very reasonable price. At that price, buy a few and keep one in reserve.

良くあるタイプのシャープナーは長方形の砥石が組み込まれたタイプですが、こちらのタイプはそろばんの駒を大きくしたローラータイプの砥石が組み込まれており、研げる方だと思います。ただ、力の入れ具合や刃を当てる角度は慣れが必要かと思います。刃先上向きの刃物を下においてシャープナーで上から刃を撫でる様に使ったら上手く研げました。

Excellent quality product. A+++ seller. Highly recommended it.
