    Good for a person unskilled in the art of properly ... Good for a person unskilled in the art of properly sharpening a knife using stones OR to temporarily restore the edge of a properly sharpened blade when the environment, time, or place doesn't allow for proper sharpening using wet stones. It will put a decent edge on a knife but nothing more. If you are expecting more from this unit, then learn how to properly sharpen a knife. It will however, work decently to restore the blade of a well sharpened knife that is still in good shape. The flint and steel broke second time out with light use. I think it is mean more as a gimmick then for someone intending to use it routinely to start a fire. That is why I give 3 stars and not 4. Lots of people love this mainly because it can put a quick and easy blade on a knife, but those are also mainly individuals who have no idea what a sharp knife is really supposed to be like. Buy this to take camping, etc. where you need to quickly restore an edge and buy proper wet stones to put a proper edge on the blade when you have the time and dedication. 3Get this for a backup Okay for about $15 it has a lot going for it,it is a budget pocket sharpener doing a decent job sharpening my knives(The Ontario Rat 1 and another that shall remain nameless).the flashlight is decently bright like a cheap pen light,the fire striker is small yet usable,there is also a whistle that is quite loud,but not what i expected.the sharpener should only be used when knives are dull to the point where you can run your fingers through it or else it would ruin the sharpness on the blade you have.my leatherman sidekick was razor sharp to do a clean cut on paper,but after i had a smart idea and use this sharpener on it and it got duller than before to a rough edge rather than a razor edge. 4Better than expected This is the perfect tool to go along with a knife. It really has everything you need on it. The fire steel rod is extremely good quality. I have some that you really have to work at to get a spark and some good quality ones.This one is the easiest I have ever seen and almost shoots small globs of lava out when used. Use the carbide sharpener in the same direction as the arrow for sharpening knives and once the coating is removed, it makes a large amount of sparks considering the size. 5Only marginally better than the cheaper original Smith sharpener, this adds 2 extra tools, 2 useless toys. Meh. The sharpeners are the same as the less expensive version Smith makes, and of the same good quality. This has a 1 LED light for up close work, it is very dim but will help you find that just sharpened knife you dropped into your foot. The flint stick makes sparks, but I have not put it to tinder. The toy whistle is absolutely fantastic for signalling someone 10 feet away, but beyond that distance its a pretty useless toy even for a Cub Scout. It sounds like a dog whistle, maybe dogs can hear it for longer distances? The toy compass is broken out of the box. It is missing half the liquid and is about 80 degrees off North. This is obviously something that in the best of circumstances is intended to only give a very general heading, not for land-nav using topo-maps, but at 80 degrees off bearing it is worse than worthless - its downright dangerous in a survival scenario as it will lead you further off course. I have seen these exact compasses available on Amazon in bulk - one commenter said to buy the 20-pack, and throw the 15 that were not workable away, keeping the 25% that were accurate. You can order the bulk toy compasses and save the few that worked, or just throw the dang thing away and for less money buy a real compass like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ID4ZY0. While this offers little beyond the knife sharpener, the mini-light and mini-fire starter are nice additions to a minimalist bug out bag or camping back pack side pocket. 3Definite Zombie Apocalypse Useful Tool I have the original just-a-sharpener in addition to this model. They're both nifty and reliable little sharpeners. This newer version has some bells & whistles (LEDs & whistles, actually) that, in the .0001% chance you'll need them, will come in handy.Frankly I'm amazed I haven't burned anything with the fire starter. Guess we know what I'm doing tonight...Seriously, this thing isn't exactly EDC, but it should be within reach, either in your backpack, glove box, wife's purse...Great stocking stuffer for menPSWhistle works great, just takes practice.Sidenote: Don't practice the whistle, it's so annoying you'll piss yourself off, not to mention anything else with ears for a country mile. 5Bigger than I thought This thing is a pocketful. Was going to use it on my key chain, but just too big to suit me. I'd say the product is satisfactory and has stuff that is good to have handy and I guess it has to be this big to encompass everything. Just was hoping it to be about as compact as their "Pocket Pal" (which is compact enough to carry for me). If I had to criticize the product, I'd say the weakest item is the compass. The thing is a little harder to hold level enough, as compared to other button compasses I have encountered. Overall, I"d say this is a good product and I am not sorry I bought it. It just will go on my BOB or in my truck instead of on my person on a daily basis. I'm revising here after looking at my key ring. I have other items on it (flat & bright little flashlight in comparison to that on this little sharpener, small knife, small loyalty cards, 3 keys and a college emblem). My point being, if I took all this other stuff off, the size would be more acceptable for my front pocket (or else just wear cargo shorts). Anyway, I was thinking it unfair to criticize it for size without elaborating. My last comment would be that the flashlight portion of this item is fairly dim on mine, but would be able to light a keyway in the dark or inside a backpack (not much more-I.E. not where you are walking). 4Good for Sharpening, Mediocre for Almost Everything Else The LED flashlight is dim, and the whistle is dull. That said the sharpener is absolutely amazing for quick sharpening. The addition of a red arrow to show the pull direction for the blade was a useful update and has saved many knives. The compass is workable and the fire starter works well, and produces sparks easily when pulled through the sharpener.The unit is very bulky and large, making it hard to keep in a pocket. This is solid though for a backpack when camping. This would be 5 stars if the flashlight and whistle were removed and it was made thinner and smaller so you could keep it in your pocket. 3and it's bright yellow so you won't lose it so easily. Gear can easily break or be lost For slightly more space than the original pocket pal you get a small but usable compass, a reasonable whistle, and a ferrocerium rod that can be used with the carbide sharpener (doesn't need a separate striker). This will fit in most sharpening stone pockets on field knife sheaths and add a bit of functionality.The edge angle is fixed, but it's just right for a field knife.The Whistle isn't going to blow out an eardrum, but it's loud enough and will keep working long after you would lose your voice.The ferrocerium rod is thin(obviously as the entire tool is fairly thin) and you must be careful not to snap it. I haven't had a problem with mine, it doesn't require a lot of muscle to throw generous sparks. Compared to other, stand-alone, ferocerium rods this one is thin, so I am careful with it.This is far more practical and functional that the tiny "stones" sometimes included with field knives and much easier to use than the clumsy and too-small diamond sharpening pads sometimes attached to knife sheathes.It's a pocket pal sharpener with some added features "just in case". If I lose my bic lighter, compass, flashlight, or whistle, I still have this small but functional backup in my knife sheath, where I'd typically be carrying a pocket pal sharpener anyway. Oh, and it's bright yellow so you won't lose it so easily.Gear can easily break or be lost, and this is cheap, lightweight and compact redundancy for some critical gear that you should have any time you venture outside of the "paved zone" . You need a sharpener, so why not a sharpener with some important backup functionality?. "One is none, two is one." Have a backup plan, and backup equipment, and a dangerous "cold and lost at night in the woods" emergency can turn into nothing more than an chilly night, next to a fire, under the stars.Are there better whistles, compasses, flashlights, and firestarters available? Yes, of course. But is there a better combination of these, plus a combination (carbide, ceramic and serrated rod) sharpener that fits in a typical sharpening stone pocket for under $15? 4If you need the ability to touch up an edge AND backup a bunch of other tools as well.. take a serious look at this Okay, I've had any number of "pocket" knife sharpeners and one of the things that has always driven me up the wall was that while I generally could get a pretty decent edge on a knife (if not always the correct TYPE/ANGLE of edge) if there were serrations on the blade there wasn't a thing I could do about them without have a separate set of small files and one or more "diamond" sharpening rods on hand as well... which generally wound up eventually growing to quite a good sized bundle of sharpening implements. This tool allowed me to do one of the things I really enjoy doing... getting all the tools I need into one "multi-tool" tool. This smaller, lighter, and nearly as effective as the aaforementioned bundle while adding functions as well. Okay, so while the compass is a bit on the iffy side of useful, as a compass anyway, it makes for a handy little bob to get the tool out of the elastic loop I normally keep it in. The ferro rod will probably... hopefully... never be needed but it's there. And, last but certainly not least, the emergency whistle is LOUD! And an extra one of those is REALLY nice to have. 5Great sharpener with bonus functionality. TLDR version: Buy it if you want a good sharpener and you are not a survival idiot. Don't buy this if you have an ultralight survival delusion as you will probably die.This little gadget is a fun design that employs many nice to have features into one compact design. The pull through sharpener is not a new idea and works on the principle of creating a small micro edge that can be quite sharp. The diamond round sharpener works well too for resharpening serrated edges and taking burrs off of a pulled through blade. I wonder why there are review here that speak to the ineffectiveness of this product. When you understand that this tool is not for putting a permanent edge on a tool but maintaining an already sharp edge that has been created by this tool, you really start to see the beauty of the simplicity of its design. Once you have made the micro edge with a knife you pulled through and this has changed your blade's cut style, you have to realize it's going to work differently than before because it's not the same kind of edge you were working with before. If you don't want to work with a micro edge that may well be different than the blades original profile, then this may not be your tool. If you know how to use the diamond sharpener rod to maintain the blades original profile, you're already set. If you realize how this works, how the different sharpening pieces work together, and are good with how that will effect your future cutting applications then buy this tool.I have three of these, one bought through Amazon. I have not had any problems with the functionality of the tool for its main purpose at all. Then again, I don't expect this tool to be a full professional knife resharping system that is going to put a laser edge on my knives. That is what a different and more expensive system is for. I also do not abuse my knives by making them do things they are not meant to do. For example, a knife like a Victorinox Tinker is not a pair of hard wire cutters and if you choose to try cut through something like that with it, well, I've got a sign for you that Bill Engvall would be proud to hand you. Likewise if you choose to use your knife tip as a screwdriver and break it or chip it, don't expect this little tool to fix your mistake of pressing a blade into service outside of its design of use.Moving on to what I consider bonus functionality, the survival applications. The whistle isn't the loudest thing out there but it's better than screaming and less energy and voice consuming. There are purpose designed whistles that do a better job and yes you should probably carry one.The small flashlight isn't really that bad, not the most amount of Lumens I've ever seen but it is a handy little light for searching around inside backpacks or boxes in the dark. If you're relying on this light for all your illumination needs and trying to go Ultralight, you'll be in the dark in short order. You'd be better off with a headlamp and a Maglite Solitaire Led on your keychain. When it comes to flashlights, the rule is two is one and backup batteries are a thing. This light was never meant to be a full time use light but merely a nice to have option for the limited time it may work. Not a deal breaker in my opinion. If I want to buy a flashlight, I'll buy a good sturdy flashlight. I didn't buy this for illumination, I bought it for sharpening knives which it does well.The compass is functional on all three that I have and works just fine, if again you understand its limitations. It's never going to be a military lensatic compass that is built like a tank and this little guy will be more susceptible to breakage or loss because of its size, design, and attachment method.Moving on to one of the most well executed parts of the whole tool aside from its main purpose, the fire starter. It throws a lot of sparks and is an excellent backup to your primary firestaring means and/or kit. Why a backup? Because of the fact that the flint stick itself is smal and thin and thus prone to breakage. It will not put forth sparks as long or as reliably as a dedicated 1/2 diameter by 6" long ferrocerium Rod that is predrilled for a lanyard attachment. I would wager that many individuals didn't even read the product information packet instruction manual that came with the tool that shows you how you're supposed to use the striker with the pull through sharpening carbide section to throw those sparks and likely already broke or will break their tool because they screwed up; likely blaming the tool for their own failure to do their due diligence in knowing their equipment ahead of time.Folks, we have to realize that the products we buy have limitations and specified areas of use. We must be able to understand those use areas to employ these tools with the right mindset so that if we must use the tool outside of its designed functionality we can do so safely in knowledge of the fact that we may need to MacGyver a different approach to something more workable.This little sharpener works well when you completely understand it's limitations and you have taken the necessary precautions to only have to rely on the survival applications in the most dire of situations. Translation, if you're looking for a survival panacea from this tool, get a reality check. If you're looking for a good sharpener with some bonus backup survival functionality, buy this tool. 5
