Corona Sharpening Tool, Garden Tool Blade Sharpener, AC 8300

I love this sharpening tool. I ordered several so I have them everywhere I store my gardening cutting tools. It fits comfortably in my pocket. I am in the habit of sharpening my shears and loppers a few times before I start cutting, after I am done, and if I am at it for a while, whenever I take a break. It is so delightful to cut with such sharp, well maintained tools. As a woman in her 60s, it makes quite a bit of difference to me both in pleasure and in practically, to be always cutting with a sharp edge, never a dull one. If I wait until a blade is dull before I sharpen it, it takes a boring long time to resharpen it. With just a little investment of sharpening time whenever I am using a tool, it never seems like a chore to me, just a delight.

For under $10, this should not be overlooked. It is much less aggressive than using a file to sharpen pruning shears, loppers, or weeding hoes. I was surprised to find that the tool has directionality, which matters when using it. It did not deburr my blades, but it did reshape and flatten chips on a pair of pruning shears that had been misused as metal shears. In fact, it even sharpened that metal shear.The tool is compact, easy to use, and delivers real results for the price. I only wish I had heard of it sooner.

Advertised as a sharpener for garden tools like garden shears, scythes, sickles, etc. I use it for dull kitchen knives and it works to re shape the edge. If using on a kitchen knife YOU STILL MUST HONE IT AFTERWARDS.**ALSO works great as a striker on a ferro rod for all you bushman out there. Rubbery grip, durable, fits good in a larger hand, comes with a cap. No edge but the 90* edge was enough to cut my thumb, so use caution when taking the cap off. Great price. Highly recommend

This tool really sharpens well. The only problem I have is getting it into small spaces like on a Black & Decker hedge trimmer. For loppers, it is amazing!

I bought this to refresh garden tool blades, but figured I'd try it on some 20 year old kitchen knives first. I was quickly able to put a new clean bevel on the kitchen knives and finish them off with a diamond block. It's the fastest and sharpest I've gotten those knives in years. Very nice for such an inexpensive item! I wouldn't recommend this to sharpen kitchen knives by itself, but it took off metal quickly and got them ready to be properly sharpened.

Best sharpness results ! The only problem my husband n has had with them is that he keeps losing and misplacing them because they are such a convenient size to carry around 😂

This device sharpens pruner’s/shears rapidly. Makes old garden implements newish again. Very easy to use and effective.

works really well....easy to control angle of sharpening. I even use it for carving knives...hold the knife still and run the the sharpener the blade keeping the angle precise...at least for me, produces sharper edges than a steel.
