Corona Sharpening Tool, Garden Tool Blade Sharpener, AC 8300

For under $10, this should not be overlooked. It is much less aggressive than using a file to sharpen pruning shears, loppers, or weeding hoes. I was surprised to find that the tool has directionality, which matters when using it. It did not deburr my blades, but it did reshape and flatten chips on a pair of pruning shears that had been misused as metal shears. In fact, it even sharpened that metal shear.The tool is compact, easy to use, and delivers real results for the price. I only wish I had heard of it sooner.

Advertised as a sharpener for garden tools like garden shears, scythes, sickles, etc. I use it for dull kitchen knives and it works to re shape the edge. If using on a kitchen knife YOU STILL MUST HONE IT AFTERWARDS.**ALSO works great as a striker on a ferro rod for all you bushman out there. Rubbery grip, durable, fits good in a larger hand, comes with a cap. No edge but the 90* edge was enough to cut my thumb, so use caution when taking the cap off. Great price. Highly recommend

I bought this to refresh garden tool blades, but figured I'd try it on some 20 year old kitchen knives first. I was quickly able to put a new clean bevel on the kitchen knives and finish them off with a diamond block. It's the fastest and sharpest I've gotten those knives in years. Very nice for such an inexpensive item! I wouldn't recommend this to sharpen kitchen knives by itself, but it took off metal quickly and got them ready to be properly sharpened.

I work in the weed industry and these sharpeners are the only ones I have used that sharpen my harvest clippers properly. They don't look like they will work.....but they do quite a good job.

This device sharpens pruner’s/shears rapidly. Makes old garden implements newish again. Very easy to use and effective.

The Corona Sharpening Tool, Garden Tool Blade Sharpener, AC 8300 arrived adequately packaged, as described, and on-time. This is a great high quality, compact sharpener, to keep your Corona and other tools sharp and ready to use. The Corona sharpener is very easy to use. I would highly recommend this sharpener to others.

Works well on garden tools. Easy to use. You can feel the edge smooth out as you go. 5-10 strokees are enough. Good for pruners, axes, etc. Takes off a lot of metal. Would not use on a high-quality knife.

I had seen these for years and was always skeptical. I have diamond, whet stone and fine file sharpeners and have never liked any power sharpeners. All my sharpening took a lot of work. I finally bought one of these. Wow I was astounded, they work! Even used it to sharpen lawn mower blades. Still have my other sharing tools but never use them anymore. I always have a corona in my pocket. Sometimes use them at steakhouses, a few passes wipe the blade off and I can cut my steak with no problem. Buy one and try it, low cost makes it worth a try.
