Pocket Knife Sharpeners

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I have been giving these pocket sharpeners a trial.

So a bit of a run down.
The big yellow one I have had for a while it gets the dodgy knives You know you when go to someone’s place and they hand you a $5 kitchen knife and ask you to touch it up. It works well enough but I just don’t like tungsten carbide drag sharpeners they just rip the blade up to much.
The smaller Black, Smiths one with the fold out diamond rod works the same but is a better buy, one from the compact angle and with the diamond rod for serrations.
The large black thing to the left is a double sided diamond paddle it has a small tool platform and a hook groove. I really like this, being double sided allow the quick removal on better quality knives that have had a hard life. Coupled with my ( Spyderco) 204 these two do most my away sharpening. (more…)
