Pros & Cons
Pros
This sharpening tool is just what the doctor ordered it's a compact size but not to small. This is the sharpener i use on all my utility knives.
The design is compact and it's nice that you don't have to use it wet since that can be a little messy. Because it is small, it is easily portable. It is nice to have everything in a single compact package.
The smith unit comes with a flat plate with diamond dust, that will put a fine even edge on a blade. Can be used on knives and scissors. Works o-k with a 6 inch blade depending on the blade's shape. Put an edge sharp enough to shave on all my hunting ... Read More
The smith's system comes with a small diamond stone that is very useful in restoring a damaged edge. Ceramic is the easy way to go for a quick touch up. Use detergent and a 3m fabric scrubber to clean the ceramic.
Cons
For me it was decidedly not money well spent. The diamond sharpener is a joke. Everything is short with this tool. Now i'm off to find a ceramic coffee mug to see if it will get this knife sharper.
Highlights
Quality
The stone quality is great ceramic rods are handy
I own three smiths sharpeners and they are all good quality
With a bit of time and patience i got a decent edge on them and them finished them up with the diamond plate
Get this before the lanksys or if you cant afford the spyderco
Price
Its a good combo deal though and the price is reasonable
Competitiveness
I have used higher priced sharpeners and this competes with them and at this price you just cant beat it
Sharpened all my benchmades and silver stag knives quickly and did a good job

It is difficult to use the ceramic honing rods with blades over 4 inches
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only limitation is the length of the rods but its not impossible to do longer length blades just not as easy

The carbide drawthrough sharpener doesnt really do much at all except scratch up your blade i wouldnt use it at all
