Sharpens game shears (view larger).
Ideal for sharpening skinning/filet knives, the Jiffy-Pro also includes a scissors sharpener integrated into the handle. It uses a patented "floating" carbide rod that adjusts to fit the precise bevel of the blades, and it's been specifically enlarged to accommodate game shears.
The crossed carbide blades used in the head of the Jiffy-Pro are precision ground to provide smoother, more consistent metal removal when setting the edge on a very dull or damaged straight edge blade. The extra-fine, crossed ceramic rods on the side of the sharpener are designed to finish and polish the edge to razor sharpness. They are also excellent to use for maintaining an already sharp cutting edge by pulling the blade through the sharpening slot three or four times before each use and as soon as you notice it’s not working as well as it should during use.
The Jiffy-Pro has a soft grip, rubber handle for a firm, comfortable grip in all conditions and is made of lightweight, durable plastic. It fits in your pocket or backpack, or can easily be attached to your belt or pack because of the uniquely designed finger guard, which is open on one end.

I bought these about a year ago specifically to sharpen my scissors, but they don't do a good job. I followed the instructions but I am not happy with the results. I haven't tried sharpening knives but for scissors they are not effective.Sadly, as far as I am concerned this was a waste of money.

The Smith's Jiffy-Pro is a truly great knife sharpener! Makes it easy to sharpen and maintain a variety of blades safely and conveniently, even if you've never sharpened your own knives before! It's easy to use and really does give your knives (and scissors) a proper, sharp cutting edge without the hassle of traditional sharpeners and expensive stones!Benefits:1) Combines the best features of both draw-over and pull-through style sharpeners.2) Large enough for easy and safe handling, but small enough to be convenient for many uses.3) Offers true 2-stage sharpening to repair blades in any condition4) Integrated scissor sharpener in handle is worth the price alone5) Durable construction, lightweight and ergonomic design6) Great value compared to nearly any other sharpener!Cons:NONE! Well, maybe that there aren't more color options.The 2-stage design is perfect for most knife-sharpening duties around the home or shop. The carbide blades are highly effective at cleaning up a rough edge, while the ceramic rods offer a finishing touch for maximum sharpness and help maintain the blades on recently sharpened knives.All in all, this is probably the best bang-for-the-buck sharpener available anywhere and it's backed by Smith's world famous reputation for quality sharpening utensils. Highly recommended!TIP: When maintaining a blade, it's best keep the blade finished with occasional use of the ceramic rods. This will help your blade last longer and deliver better performance than letting it go completely dull and having to do the 2-stage process over again. When sharpening, allow the blade to glide through the sharpener without adding pressure. It may require an additional draw or two to get the edge as sharp as you want, but your blade will last longer and so will the sharpening inserts.

I had modest expectations as I typically sharpen my woodworking tools, and my knives, with diamond stones - and this is a LOT cheaper option. But I didn't like sharpening scissors, so I gave this a shot.To date, it has worked well in bringing some old "dull as can be" scissors back to life, and also worked well on a few pair that were already in pretty good shape. As for the knife sharpening feature, it does reasonably well unless you must have or just want the absolute highest quality edge. The results have been far more than adequate for a pocket knife, and I also sharpened a few dull kitchen knives as well. Some knives required only a few swipes on the fine edge, but it also worked well on others that required a bit of work on the coarse edge first.It is easy to use and can work for both left and right handed scissors. Just remember to use the correct side depending on the orientation of your scissors (it is clearly marked, I just didn't pay attention the first swipe). While it is all plastic, the sharpener feels sturdy. The black rubber gives you the right amount of grip, and while I am no hiker, I think the plastic handle/clip mechanism combined with the tacky black rubber would keep it where you intended, even on the outside of your pack or if clipped to other gear.My only complaint (minor) is that it feels a little awkward when you sharpen scissors. Assuming you hold the scissors in your right hand as would be expected for those who are right handed, you have to hold the sharpener in your left, which means you are holding the "leg" with the sharpening mechanism when in use. It feels as if it would have been perfect if the left and right handed scissors sharpener configuration were reversed. That said it just took a few swipes to get comfortable - and not many more to finish the job.I am pleased with the purchase and my wife likes it as well. She was a little scared to sharpen scissors or knives, but feels safe using this tool. We would recommend it to others who do not need a surgical quality edge. I suspect I will be using it more often than not for all of our scissors, and almost all of our knives.
