Great product, but no instructions on how to use
I really thought this was a great product. I wish it had instructions but I figured it out. It has skid resistant pads on it so you can set it on the cutting board to use. I don't think it was unsafe. Small and easy to store. Worked great!

wusthof 2 stage pocket sharperner
very convenient, easy to use, not the sharpest knives, but satisfactory
Very dangerous
There is no way to properly hold this sharpener and it is very easy to cut yourself when using.
Priced for your pocket, but perhaps not sized for you pocket...
I immediately sharpened my years old folding blade with this and was quite pleased with the results. The size of the sharpener isn't really pocket sized. The dimensions are 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" x 7/8" In layman's terms, it's 2/3 the size of my BlackBerry or roughly equivalent to the size of my Staedtler pencil sharpener. Kind of clunky to call it "pocket" sized, but effective and worth the seven bucks. I bought two.
great for price
to have a sharp collection of knives again for $6 or $7 is great. Many of my knives were unusable before sharpening and now are very sharp. Easy to use.
