Great Video. Will try to sharpen now. Both my son, 17, and I tried to use unsecessfully prior to video. My disabled husband called and bought from info-comercial. They sold him several sharpeners and the bill was $100. He forgot he did it, so I called Sharp several times to find out what he bought. I had the reference no. from bank statement. They said they had no record of his purchase and could not tell me what he bought. After his death, I found the sharpeners. Thanks for your help. Do Not Call In To Buy Any Info as they hard sell many additional products as 30 day trails and then bill your credit card.

Did not get to watch the video, but everything that has been said is very true. A remarkable little tool that is very handy to have around and does a really good job of putting an edge on a knife or sword. The problem is that I have to keep putting the tool back together because it is so cheaply made. The performance of the tool clearly out does the quality of the tool. The adjustable center blade continuosly comes off the little plastic blue pin on the screw turner for ajusting the center blade, this needs to be upgraded somehow.

This Shark was gifted to me, through a major retailer’s “As Seen On TV” isle. Only cost $10. Well worth it for scissors and my machetes.
My observations so far, regarding complaints:
The carbide steel bits in the Shark take off a LOT of material. Use a soft touch!
There are two “knobs” on the Shark. The one on the rear, scissor sharpener loosens the bit so it can be reversed to prolong its life. If you turn this, the bit will fall out!
The little blue dial on the main grip adjusts the pitch of the “V” bit. It you mess with this, without observing what it’s doing, you will make have terrible results on your knives.
The angle of the “V” guides is there for a reason! If you adjust the little blue dial to center the bit in the “V”, you want to hold your knife blade so it rests against the “V” guide edges. That way, you will get a uniform bevel on you blade.
This is NOT a precision knife sharpening system. But if your filleting knife gets dull in the middle of a fishing trip, it’s a valuable addition to your tackle box.

Thanks so much for putting up this video! The directions that come with the sharpener are awful so it was very helpful. I was truly amazed at my results with scissors and metal sheers. I have many pairs and use them a lot. Definitely worth it just for that.

Hey Frank…Sure wish I could take credit for that video! Actually Andy put it up on YouTube for others to share and I just embedded it in the blog post. That’s why I liked his review so much since its so helpful plus he goes into such great detail.

An excellent job on the video. Your calm,well-paced,honest evaluation of this product helped me greatly. You should be producing TV shows.
