Hi, I have not sharpen small blades but I think it would work just fine on pocket knives too

It'll work on any smooth-edged blade. The blade has to be long enough to pull through the sharpener. I would say any blade 2" or longer should work fine. I sharpen a paring knife on it, which is small and it works just fine.

I haven't tried that, but I would say that it would since each set of sharpening "stones" (coarse and fine) are shaped and positioned such that they are like two small cylinders mounted at angles to form a V.

This knife has a thin blade. It has a little give to it but the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze.. however, if you are cutting up a potato, the knife tends to bend a little and not make a perfect cut. This seems to be my go to knife for all the small stuff. For the price it can't be beat. It also stays sharp. Hope this helps.

It does but only works good on the bigger half moon serrated knife blades. You would probably be better off to buy the Blademedic Knife Sharpener by lansky.

I use it on my henckels and it works great. Just Google "knife sharpening with a whetstone". YouTube also has a lot of videos that will help you on " HOW TO". Just search same as google. (Coarse is always used first).

I am not sure how wide your knife is. However, if it will fit in the sharpener I guarantee it will do the job.

I have a small executive pocket knife that is 2-1/4". It sharpens it to a razors edge.

I have a SharpNEasy pocket sharpener. It looks like the friskars and it is bout 3"x3".It has ceramic sharpeners and that is why I bought it. It is an excellent sharpener.

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

I tried it on a couple of pocket knives and I prefer to use a stone on blades that short. I was not able to get a satisfactory 25 degree edge using the Work Sharp.

It will sharpen most any straight edge knife. I use it on kitchen, pocket, and hunting knives. It works great.

Yes ,It will ,providing that the edge on that knife uses a asian style edge of 15 degrees. The sharpener does a decent job. When you sharpen a knife put a peice of paper below the sharpener. and dont forget to wash the knife.

it will sharpen any NON serrated knives.works best with knives that need honing for a sharper blade. I would not use it for extremely dull knives.i do have Rada knives which I think are great.

Sorry that I haven't used it for 'good' pocket knives yet. I believe it has a 20 degree cut from what appear to be sturdy diamond-faced wheels. And the second, manual stropping is at the same angle. I'm no pro, but think it would do well. Why not ask Chef's Choice, since they recommend some of their other sharpeners for specific uses, like serrated? Good luck.

It doesnt sharpen, it just brings the blade bach to its "true" so the blade will be sharper than it was but if your knives need sharpening the stone is best.

I use a very fine whetstone in general to sharpen knives. For every day,a couple of swipes on the sharpening rod seems to work.

I would think it would work well on any pocket knife with at least a 2 inch blade.
