SELECTOOL - Master Sharpener - Sharpens Knives, Scissors, Tools, Axes, Hatchets - Cuts Glass & Tile

Great!
I've tried all kinds of sharpeners over the years - stones, stone systems, gadget sharpeners. NOTHING I tried ever put on the kind of edge I was looking for . . . until the Selectool.

I bought one at an antique threshers reunion in North Carolina. I saw the guy dull up a machete, sharpen it with this tool, and then cut paper with it. "Okay," I said, "I'll try one more time."

I took it home and proceeded to sharpen every knife in my wife's knife block in about 5 minutes. I got a very sharp edge on all the knives, including the bread knife, very quickly with very little effort. Well, well. It looks like this thing actually works. I check her knives occasionally and they stay sharp. Very impressive for the price.

I've used it to sharpen a bunch of scissors in my house. I've got a bunch of kids and they dull up scissors fast. This tool sharpens every one of them quickly and easily.

I actually have sharpened my lawn mower blade with this tool,...

SELECTOOL - Save your money
Purchased one and wish I hadn't. It is flimsy and difficult to hold and manage (it's only about 6" long). I am not able to get an edge on anything, and have had to have my knives 're-sharpened' that I attempted to sharpen with this gadget. The reviews you see are probably the, result of the "President" soliciting customers for a favorable review in exchange for a FREE additional tool. I fell into the trap when I received a request for a review in exchange for a free second tool, and I left a positive review thinking I could sell the additional tool and recover my loss. The sad news is the guy won't send the tool, or even respond to emails. What gives? Below is a copy of the email he sent to me asking me for a review of the product. I am sure others who have purchased the tool will recognize the email. Save your money and get an electrical sharpener than will actually put a decent edge on your blade(s).

This tool really works!
I've been carrying personal knives for over fifty years. I am compulsive about keeping them sharp. Until I purchased a SelecTool I always used stones for sharpening. I found that stones work okay for the softer blade metals, but once I got into the harder blades the stones were not as effective. However, once I began using the SelecTool I no longer encountered this problem. I now use the SelecTool for all my sharpening needs - both personal as well as around the kitchen. The sharpening stones I used to keep in a kitchen drawer are now somewhere in the garage.
