Overview
Not a bench stone or an electric grinder, the Pocket Pal is a small sharpener that pairs a two stage ceramic and diamond slot with a separate diamond rod. A clip lets it ride on a pocket or pack.
Small size and a clip are the reason to carry it, and the coarse and fine stages cover basic edge care away from home. A shopper who wants guided angles or a large stone surface will find the limits quickly.
Who it's for
Backpack and hunting trips, where weight and size matter more than a large stone, are the setting. People sharpening kitchen knives at home or needing a set angle should choose a guided system.
Pros and cons
- Pocket clip for carrying
- Coarse and fine stages
- Diamond rod for narrow work
- Very light and compact
- Sharpening angle range not listed
- Small body limits long blade work
- Hand control sets the edge angle
Performance notes
Drawing a blade through the coarse slot removes material and the fine slot refines the edge, which is the order the two stages are meant for. The diamond rod suits narrow work such as hooks, since a round rod reaches into places a flat stone cannot. With no angle guide listed, edge quality depends on how steadily the blade is held.
