Will this sharpen small paring knives? How much of the blade is left unsharpened? Reviews on other electric sharpeners say as much as two inches.

I have sharpened small paring knives with it. It only leaves a small amount, maybe 1/2 inch or less, unsharpened. It is not really noticeable. This sharpener is a very nice one compared to many others I looked at.

Depending on the Bolster on the knife at the hand-guard, it could be as much as a 1/4 inch but i am able to get most of the blade on almost any knife. Be careful though because two of the wheels, course and medium, are very aggressive.

I'm not home now but if I recall correctly it's probably about an inch. I have a pretty small Wustof paring knife and it ses to me that it gets most of it.

The Presto will cover most of the blade if you use it correctly. Get a couple of old paring knives and try them out (I did) and compare the sharpened area to your new knife. That will tell you how far to lower the knife in to start your edge. Hope this helps.

I am very pleased with this sharpener but I use it for sharpening larger carving knives. I believe I could sharpen smaller/shorter blades but more care may be needed. It sharpens very well and I think you will find it a neat addition to your kitchen.

The size of the sharpener only allows it to sharpen #2 pencils. I have used it to sharpen colored pencils which works as well.

How well does it work on pocket knives with less than a 3-inch blade? With much difficulty...that's for sure. I have a Buck 1" blade pocket knife that I keep on my key chain. I free hand to sharpen this blade without using the sharpening guide. I'm not as proficient as I'd like to be using the WSKTS-KO. Never the less, omitting the guide when sharpening this particular knife suffices for me. Good luck.

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 don't know! Most of the blase I sharpened were 1/8" or so. I would have to find a 1/4" and try it. My thought is that has to be a substantial blade and you would meed to find a larger version.

Personally I would by a different sharpener. I am NOT pleased with the unit that I bought. it does not do an adequate job of sharpening any knife.

These blade fit in your average hand held pencil sharpener, I would estimate that they are about an inch in length, maybe a millimeter or so shorter. You only get 2 in this pack also which when I bought them I expected at least 5 and was disappointed to find only 2. So about 7-8 millimeters long and about 2 millimetres wide

Unsure but know that it will sharpen a blade 1/8 inch thick. And it does a VERY good job! I like this product.

Just sharpened my No.2 with it and it comes out perfect. I bought it for home, bc I have two in elementary and I didn't want to fool around. I'm very pleased. Kids use it just fine. Works fast too. Seems you always get what you pay for. Good Luck

My husband says....the sharpener will produce a sharp enough enough edge to shave hair from your arm. However if you over sharpen your knife the edge will not last as long...but if you watch the video (included) they explain using the 30 back edge and that will help strengthen the edge. You can get a sharper edge by stropping...however I recommend the ultra find grit stones...purchased separately, for razor sharp edge.

My experience with this sharpener is that it will not sharpen any edge. I returned the AccuSharp I purchased because it dulled (and possibly ruined) the edge of the knife I attempted to sharpen with it. Not recommended but your experience may be different.

We have never used it to sharpen our lawn mower blades. We only use it for knives. Sorry I could not be of more help

That depends on the type of sharpener you are using but, I wouldn't advise buying this knife in the first place, it's feel good price would be less than $2. It is crap!

It is approximately 24-28 inches long, about 12 inches wide and about 12 inches in height. No, there is no blade sharpener included.

I haven't found a knife that it doesn't sharpen. I actually have had knifes made for me that I sharpen on mine.Besides that you have 30 days to return it if it doesn't work the way you want it! STEW

The sharpener gives pencils a midsize point, longer than golf pencils, but not too long. I measured just under 2/3 of an inch from a pencil I sharpened with it.
