istar standard sharpener

I have been using this sharpener for years now. I use it to sharpen all my garden tools like loppers and pruners. I’ve also sharpened scissors too. It works perfectly!

Sharpening hoof knives has never been easier or effective than when using this Istar sharpener!

Amazing how such a simple-looking product can work so well. I have sharpened 2 pairs of garden shears, 2 pairs of garden snips, 2 pairs of scissors, and lopers. All now have a superfine edge - almost razor-like My wife has tried them all and cannot believe they are the same tools. I just want to keep sharpening things, but I have run out of dull edges. I rarely rave about a product, but I have to in this case.

I use this tool to sharpen garden equipment. I wouldn't recommend it for use on fine blades (a good chef's knife, for instance) because it's easy to remove the metal too quickly, but it's very effective for my lawnmower blade and a couple of small scythes. It's small enough to fit in your pocket and comes with a soft plastic sheath.

This sharpener is perfect for doing clippers for vineyard work. Does not dull like most sharpeners, give a great edge.

This sharpener is the bomb! I never have to buy another pair of nail clippers again. Instructions did not come with the sharpener, but I found some on supersharpknives.blogspot.com/2012/09/sharpening-nail-clippers-with-istor.html. I've also been able to sharpen a pair of small scissors that would otherwise have continued to dull. A feather light touch is all that is needed, so it is very easy to use.

This item arrived on time and is as described by the seller. I purchased this sharpener to help keep all my garden tools sharp and ready to go. It works great.

I can't rule out I'm doing something wrong but no matter how much I try, nothing seems to get super sharp.

Bisogna solo imparare a "sentire" il tagliente della lama quando lo si passa. Ho resuscitato coltelli che non tagliavano. Non calcare troppo e provare e riprovare per capire bene come tenerlo. Sta tutto nella manualità,non avendo un angolo fisso di affilatura. Il materiale credo sia VIDIA,un materiale molto duro che permette di affilare gli acciai essendo più teneri. Lo consiglio.

Every kitchen (and garden) should have this. Best sharpener we have ever owned and we are two cooks one lefthanded and one righthand and no more fighting over who last sharpened the knife. Husband caught using it on garden shears/snips so we bought another for that purpose. Love this. Trick will be to make sure someone doesn't walk away with it ;)
