Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 7861 Axe and Knife Sharpener
Customer Review: A Great Little Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit to go along with my purchase of the Fiskars Wood Splitting Axe and it not only sharpened the ax well, I also used it to sharpen the kitchen knives. It has put a nice edge on everything I have sharpened with it. I saw some folks complain that it isn't very durable and that they broke it right away. In my experience, if it is used properly, it should last a good, long, while.Customer Review: A Reasonable Substitute for a Whetstone
Summary: 4 Stars
If one really wants to put a razor sharp edge on an axe or knife, a set of diamond whetstones is the best way to do it. This painstaking manual process requires time and proper technique. Beware: a razor sharp edge is exactly that and not to be trifled with. On the other hand, if "pretty darn sharp" is good enough...and it should be for most utility purposes...a dedicated sharpening tool like the Fiskars will get the job done quickly and with minimum risk to one's fingers. There are a number of similar products on the market. This one comes from a reputable manufacturer at a good price point.Customer Review: A good value at the price ... kind of cheap.

This will do a good job of maintaining an edge on a knife or hatchet. It is made out of plastic and feels "cheap". But it made a good edge on most blades I've run through it. Also did good with my hiking hatchet. I'm interested in seeing how long it will last.Customer Review: As advertised... BUT....
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't care for this product. It easily slides around on most smooth surfaces; not good when working with sharp objects. Cumbersome. Cuts very roughly. Difficult to use with bulky or awkward tools like axes and hatchets. Would probably work ok for dressing up kitchen knives if the stones were finer. While it works as designed, to a degree, there are better products out there.Customer Review: Awesome tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best knife sharpener there is for regular people. I've used Japanese water stones, whetstones and oil, diamond encrusted strops. For the amount of time and cost to put a razor edge on a blade, Fiskars is by far the best. Anyone, any age can turn a dull edge into razor. I was even able to put an even sharper razor's edge on a razor knife. Great value,awesome tool.
