Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-41846 DF6 Compact Sharpener
Customer Review: Looks are decieving.
Summary: 4 Stars
Reading the title of this review, you would assume I mean that this thing is decieving because it looked good and ended up being cheap. It is quite the contrary. Out of the box this sharpener looks cheap. It looks like something you would get from a cheap hardware store for less than ten bucks. Now, I began using it on one of my daggers, and this thing is amazing. Not 15 minutes of sharpening and I was already noticing dramatic difference in the edge of my blade. Before sharpening my dagger, I ran it gently across an inflated balloon. Nothing. a slight mark the showed stress in the elastic/rubber/whatever, but no cut, and certainly no deflation. Sharpened the dagger for about 15 minutes (as previously stated) and a very delicate and gentle skid across the surface of the balloon, produced a satisfying, quiet hiss. A cut so thin I really couldn't even see it, but the balloon deflated in about 2 seconds. After Around 30 minutes of sharpening, I got rather bored with the amount of progress and stopped, but that doesn't mean there wasn't progress. Around every 1-2 slides through the tongues, your blade is getting sharper. Litarally the only complaint I have on this thing, is that If you are using a blade larger than around 8 inches, or a blade smaller than around 4, you're going to start getting annoyed. It just isn't very comfortable to sharpen blades of those lengths on this thing. Where as a good 6-7 inch blade feels so natural. There you have it though, thats my review, great product, arrived early, great price, I'm a happy consumer.

 Specially coated diamond fingers keep knives and axes sharp and ready for use. View larger. |
With specially coated diamond fingers that curve to create an exact 30-degree edge on the knife, you can be sure that you get the edge you want each and every time. One swipe through the DF6 equals six swipes across a regular steel sharpener, saving you time and effort during sharpening.
How It Works
Gently push the knife blade down into the sharpener and pull back, letting the diamond-coated fingers do the work. The specially curved fingers replicate the swipe across a traditional honing steel, but with the sharpener guiding the way, you'll get the right angle every time.
Compact Design for Use Anywhere
Weighing just 3.1 ounces and measuring three inches in length, the Gerber DF6 Sharpener can be used almost anywhere. Grab the outside flaps to secure the sharpener during use and fold them against the sharpener for low-profile storage and portability.
Versatile Sharpener for Knives or Axes
You can use the Gerber DF6 Sharpener for all types of knives or axes. With its compact size, you can take the DF6 with you camping, hunting, or backpacking for use with outdoor knives. House knives can be sharpened on the tabletop, or use the sharpener in the shed with axes and other tools.
Maintains Blade Edge Without Regrinding
Because the Gerber DF6 Sharpener creates the perfect 30-degree edge every time, your blade edges won't get rounded like they do when using other honing and sharpening steels. Once you start using the DF6, your knives will never need regrinding.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more
