Very well built and thought-out.
• The diamond rod has a short groove, for sharpening tips, like fishing hooks and sewing needles.
• The flat diamond file is held shut with a magnet.
• The magnet can hold the item's weight, but not on smooth surfaces.
• The finger grooves are textured, for more traction.
• The bottom part has rubber inlays, to improve stability when using the V sharpeners.
Below I compare it to Smith's Pocket Pal sharpener.
• It is larger, so it does take up more space and weight, but is also easier to hold and operate.
• Includes double-sided flat diamond sharpener.
• Added features to improve performance (rubber inlays and textured finger grooves).
Thoughts:
I immediately liked it. I do not mind it being bulkier than the Pocket Pal, since its added features make up for it. It is very well executed and works. Thanks to the flat diamond part, you have more options when sharpening. Note that this is will not replace a "proper" method of sharpening, like a sharpening wheel, nor will it be as effective. Still, you can't take a wheel with you. That's where this comes in. It's small enough to go in a toolbox or pouch, so you can maintain your blades on the go. It won't perform miracles, but it works.
About the magnet:
It holds the flat diamond file very well. It is also just strong enough to hold the item's weight, but the sides are smooth plastic, so if, for example, you stick it on a fridge door, it will slide down.
However, you can stick a small piece of traction tape or rubber on the side. The traction will eliminate slippage, and the item will stay put. I don't see storing it on my fridge, but it would be another welcome feature. They already have the magnet there. And they have rubber inlays on the bottom of it. Another little piece of rubber on the side of the magnet, and there. You've got another awesome feature. In any case, it is an easy fix, if you do want to be able to stick it on vertical ferrous surfaces.

This is my favorite small sharpener, it beats all my larger stones in versatility and ease of use. The flat diamond rod is my favorite feature because it is wonderful for sharpening any shape blade (like re-curves) with a few very light passes. The diamond rods take the work out of sharpening, and I find it is easier to maintain the angle than with my bulky stones Even though it is slightly larger than the Lansky the Accusharp is more versatile. Ergonomic, good control when sharpening, pocket size and inexpensive. It makes a good field sharpener for camping trips.

This sharpener is good for blades from multi tools to spring assist sharpeners to culinary blades and machetes,just be careful and move the sharpener over the blade and if you're not use to sharpening blades wear a medium to thick glove. For those of us used to sharp stuff, use the slots first and finish w the swing out pieces.

I've tried to learn hand sharpening and have used lots of different methods over the past several years. Diamond stones, Japanese water stones, sandpaper and mouse pads.... I just can't get a razor edge by hand. This is the only tool that's pocketable (lansky system works great) that will put a shaving edge on my knives. It seems to work better for the carbon steel blades i have, but it still does a much better job on stainless than I can by hand. Traditionalist will try to tell you these things don't work. All I care about is having a sharp knife and this thing does it.

This item was far more than what I had expected. It is very handy, very accurate and sharpens knives just about as sharp as you get get them. I am very happy with this item and will be purchasing the exact same one in case I lose this one.

Excellent sharpener. Use lightly with the carbide sharpener then many times with the fine. Use a dab of honing oil. No need to find an angle.

This is a simple tool to use and it creates a razor sharp knife with very little effort. I recommend this product.
