Rapid river pocket shapener

[Welderman85]

Have any of you guys tried one of these. I have been thinking of getting one for touching up my work knives. Instead of using the stone all the time but I have never owned one of these before. Thank you

Save your money. It's a carbide pull through. Ruins the edge. Produces a jagged edge instead of a clean edge because it tears at the steel instead of abrading it.

Worse than junk.

I'm actually a big fan of those pull-through edge wreckers, as eventually they mean more money in my pocket.

This Cletus Spuckler clip is a repost from a few years ago, and it shows the amazing things one can do to a knife edge with one of these pull-through "sharpeners":

DMT has several pocket models that work a lot better than stones.
