                  Awesome Sharpener. Must have tool!
                  I own MANY small EDC knife sharpeners but this one is my go to! The coarse carbide blades will remove material and damage. If you put on a cutting board or piece of wood and apply more pressure it will sharpen the worst of your blades quick. I love the finger hole for quick dressing a fine edge. Magnet is nice to keep around house or work bench. Mine stays in the truck! I plan to give these as gifts.

                    Slight error in the tool name
                    I was just browsing and noticed that this knife sharpener is listed as a "Long Reach Straight Nose Plier". I thought it may be helpful to point this out so you can amend the details etc.

                      Even though I have a Work Sharp system at home, this Milwaukee compact jobsite handheld knife sharpener works great in the field for quick and easy blade sharpening tasks.

                      Great Compact Knife Sharpener From Milwaukee
                      I ordered the Milwaukee compact knife sharpener with finger hold. There are three different sharpening tools all in one. It has a sharpening steel, a coarse sharpener and a fine sharpener. This sharpening tool has a magnetic base which should prevent loss and makes it easier to store. I used it to sharpen one of my favorite kitchen knives, my hunting knife and my pen knife. I can tell you that it sharpens very well. This will make a great addition to my tool box or glove box.

                      Best little sharpener
                      This is the best little tool that I have seen in a while. It works great to sharpen little items from kitchen knives to putty knives. I love the light weight yet thick gauge plastic frame. The tool is easy to use and you can easily and quickly slide whatever you need across the open slots to use to sharpen. The blades themselves are well protected from damage and accidents also.

                      A small and compact knife sharpener.
                      This roughly 1 ½ inch by 3 ½ inch Milwaukee brand Sharpener has come in handy more than once. Even though it is compact, it works very well. However, do not use it to sharpen scissors. The best scissors I had got ruined in the process and became just a decorative item. There is a Course slot and also a Fine slot. For my last project – sharpening garden tools – I used the Course first and followed up with the Fine.

                      The best EDC knife sharpener
                      Much better than the competition. The sharpening stones are far superior to any of the cheap knock-offs. These stones actually grind down a blade with minimal effort. It only takes a few strokes with the coarse and fine to get a very sharp blade. A nice bonus is the rounded edge for serrated blades. Of course it takes more time, but this Milwaukee is the only knife sharpener I've seen that is designed to sharpen serrated edges like a break knife. There is even a magnet so my wife can hang it from the fridge. This little Milwaukee blade sharpener is a true novelty, nothing junky about it.

                      Sharpens very well
                      Milwaukee has done it again! This compact handheld jobsite knife sharpener works amazing. It comes with 3 different sharpeners for all of your sharping needs. It has a coarse side a fine side a the back side does serrated knives. It sharpens knives very fast and easy. I also like that it will fit in your pocket so you can take it with you almost anywhere. Overall I am very happy with this product.
