Zum regelmäßigen Nachschärfen von schwer zugänglichen Klingen z.B. an Gartenscheren sehr gut geeignet. Durch die spitz zulaufende Form des Schärfers erreicht man alle Stellen ohne Zerlegen.Es ist bei dieser Feile nur eine Seite mit Diamant bestückt, die andere Seite ist blank. Das Feilblatt ist dick genug, um auch mit Druck arbeiten zu können. Ein Verbiegen im Gebrauch halte ich für schwer möglich. Der Butterfly-Griff rastet geöffnet satt ein, liegt gut in der Hand und macht einen stabilen Eindruck - durchdacht!Die Schärfleistung ist sehr gut, zur Haltbarkeit der Diamanten bin ich mal gespannt, bisher sehe ich keine Ausfälle. Die Feinheit der Feile muss zum Zustand der Klinge passen. Ich wollte eine Nachschärfung meiner Gartengeräte sofort nach Nutzung und bin zufrieden.Für Küchenmesser bleibe ich dennoch bei meinen Wassersteinen, die haben mehr Auflagefläche.

The diamond file itself is great, as expected from DMT. But, the folding plastic handle is cheap and flimsy; not the quality expected from DMT. However, you can improve the handle by adding a 5.5-inch length of one-inch heat shrink tubing (not shrunk). This keeps the handle from wobbling from side to side while sharpening, and provides a better grip. Not all nominally one-inch heat shrink is exactly the same size. Try different pieces or brands of tubing until you find one that fits snuggly over the handle. Four stars with this modification; three stars without.

Bought this and the round one and they both stink. The flat one is super unevenly coated which makes it tough to stay consistent and is seeming to lose diamonds by just running my hand over it and the round one is totally smooth for the first like 15% of the file. Really disappointed by both of them.

When using this sharpening file I find it useful to wear a jeweler’s magnifying headband. This allows one to see how your filing is effecting the edge that you are trying to sharpen. Another trick is to mark the edge with a Sharpie and then you can see which part of the edge you have filed. Using a lubricant will make the filing go quicker. To me, the folding handle seems like a gimmick. I think it just makes the file more wobbly and more delicate. I would prefer that the file did not have any moving parts. They could send it with a fixed handle and a simple sheath. It would be less likely to break. I really don’t have any need to be carrying a file around in my pocket. I’m not that finicky than I need to sharpen the edge midway through a project. For what it is, I feel the file a somewhat overpriced.

Finally found a sharpener that will sharpen my pruners - most of my other sharpeners were too short to sharpen the short blades decently.

Rainy day this past weekend and good day to sharpen the tools. DMT videos shows you how and now all tools, scissors, spade, pruners etc. are very sharp and it was easy to do. Great product.
