RWS Quick Sharp Knife Sharpener Review - Review Of The RWS Quick Sharp Knife Sharpener

I bought one of these little gadgets to help keep my hunting knives sharp, it is about 2 1/4" high, 2 3/4" wide, nearly 1" thick, and weighs 1 1/2 oz (42 grams), so can easily fit into the pocket of Your shooting coat, for use in the field.

The unit seems well designed, and is manufactured from thick plastic, with carbide plates/shears at one end, for putting the initial edge on the blade.

I wouldn't bother with ANY blade sharpening system, they are all crap. What you need is some good , flat oil or water stones and plenty of practice otherwise you will inevitably put the wrong profile on your blade.
How long will it be before people finally undersatnd this, all these blade sharpeners are just gimmicks!

I have a flat oilstone in a wooden box cost a lot of dosh too - and would think that would be a better way to sharpen a blade- I paid £100 for my knife and its still as sharp as the day I bought it. 3 years ago- so Ive not used the Oilstone yet lol

I'm still learning when it comes to knife sharpening but I would never try one of these gimmicks as it would then be near impossible to get the right profile back on my blade. Also, I have one of those normal 2 sided oil stones you get from a tool shop and one very old, VERY fine oil stone I found at an old auto jumble in a wooden block. All together cost under a fiver and plenty good enough for my cheap Opinels and Mora Clipper.
