This is a great tool to carry in the field for consistent touch-ups if you're using the blade hard. It really put arm shaving sharp on my Executive and Classic even though I thought they were pretty sharp already. However, unless you need to reprofile a blade, I think all you need for a blade in decent condition is that little ceramic disc pull through. Mounting it into the cap reduces its length by about 3/8' (due to the pocket clip).

Lastly, you get the full length of the honing rod. Better to put the the top into the the bottom piece rather than leaving it in the cap as you can then use it like a Sharpmaker with the rod braced on a table or other flat surface and, if you want to pull the blade towards you as the Victorinox video shows, you have a lot more to grip onto and it's safer. And pulling the blade towards you on the main rod IMO is not the way I like to sharpen. Even the Victorinox video has the rod into the cap and not the bottom.

Most of the vids I've seen have people putting the rod into the cap. I'll still use my Spyderco sharpeners for my heavier bladed knives. You get really good finished edge through those little ceramic discs, at least with SAKs which is why I bought it. Honestly, I expected to return it because of the aforementioned Spyderco sharpeners I have and I was skeptical of the pull through portion of this sharpener (I have a couple Gerber pull throughs in my daypacks and they do not provide a good edge).

Д¬lick to expand.A working edge is far more important to me too. But I do have hopes of making progress in making sharper blades. Do I expect this to be the magic end all of sharpening tools. But, I am not the guy that ends up with a mirror finish that cuts tissue paper by the sheet falling on the edge of the blade and makes all the attendees of the knife sharpening convention envious. I usually end up where I need to be for an effective cutting edge. Between the arthritis in my thumbs and diminished sensory functions in my fingertips, I am unable to feel a blade angle contact the stone, as a result I am sort of the Barney Fife of blade sharpeners. Of course, this depends on the size of the serrations you are working on. The elliptical shape also allows for sharpening serrations on the narrow sides of the ellipse. I must admit that the rod's elliptical cross section shape is quite interesting as there is a groove down the length of it on both of the wider sides that might be used to sharpen fish hooks among other things. I have read somewhere that the rod is indeed ceramic. Mine arrived last week and while I have used it a little, more for my own practice at this time, I cannot say how I like it yet.

Cleaning the honing rod with an eraser/Bar Keeper's Friend will be simple enough but I wonder how to clean the little white pull-through ceramic rods? That's the only possible negative I can think of. Still, for about $13.50, this is a very neat, super light sharpener. It also has a honing rod that may be ceramic but I'm not sure and the Victorinox site doesn't say. I dulled my Executive large blade and Classic blade a bit to see what the pull through would do and, damn, if it didn't put hair popping edges back on in ten pull throughs. All of my knives are sharp but, as we all know, Victorinox steel can dull a little quicker than we like. However, with the generally good reviews this thing has along with it's ergo design and ceramic pull through discs for putting a fine edge on, I had to give it a try. Now, I normally have little use for these types of devices and use one of my Spyderco sharpeners (Sharpmaker, bench stones, pocket stones). I put this thread here due to it being a Victorinox and for use with my Victorinox knives.ДЄlong with my other purchase (Knipex 5' Cobra wrench) today, I also got the Victorinox Dual-Knife sharpener, specifically for my SAKs.
