Our verdict

A hand-held, angle-guided knife sharpener that bundles a diamond stone, ceramic hone and leather strop in a pocketable body. It sharpens at one angle out of the box, and other angles and grits are extras.

Overview

Not a bench-top system, this hand-held sharpener uses a patent-pending angle guide to set the blade angle while a dual-sided stone does the work. A leather strop finishes the edge for a polished result.

Light weight and a compact body make it a field and workshop tool, and the path from stone to hone to strop covers shaping, refining and polishing. Other angles and stone grits are sold separately, and the listing gives no dimensions or blade types.

Who it's for

Outdoor users who sharpen knives at camp or on the trail, and home cooks who want a simple guided routine. The handle is designed to protect fingers during use. Buyers who need adjustable angles or heavy repair work should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Guided angle for repeatable edges
  • Diamond stone and ceramic hone
  • Leather strop included
  • Light and portable
Cons
  • Single angle in the box
  • Other angles sold separately
  • Dimensions not listed

Performance notes

The angle guide holds the knife at a fixed bevel, so each stroke removes metal at the same angle. The diamond stone shapes the edge, the ceramic hone refines it and the leather strop polishes it. Changing the angle or starting grit takes extra guides or stones.
