Pocket and field sharpeners

Restoring the sharpness and ease of cut of a kitchen or folding knife is a task that can be handled by various sharpening tools. And when there is no possibility to choose an electronic sharpener and you need to sharpen in the field - small-sized pocket knife sharpener can help.

Portable sharpener: features of the tool

Based on the name, it is obvious that the portable knife sharpener is a model with small dimensions, which allows you to carry it in a backpack or pants pocket.

The main advantage of such tools is the small size characteristics, which in turn affects the weight category. The compact sharpener is not inferior to full-sized products in functionality and sharpening quality, despite what many claim to the contrary.

Pocket sharpeners can be of the following types:

1. Hand-held: a smaller-sized sharpening device that is a replica of a full-size water stone with a small handle for easy retention in the palm of your hand. Suitable for sharpening and finishing the blade of any cutting tool, including serrated tools.
2. Folding: smaller in size and with plastic pads that cover the sharpening area. The smaller size makes them more compact and suitable for carrying in a backpack.
3. With bits: models with bits of varying grit sizes allow you to perform a full range of sharpening operations on your knives, yet can be easily carried in a pocket or tool pouch.
4. Keychain: the most compact solutions with a ring that can be carried on a keychain or on a backpack clip for greater ease of use.

A pocket knife sharpener is used to grind the blade of a knife and bring it back to sharpness in the field. Any knife can be used for sharpening - from a kitchen knife to a fishing, hunting or tactical knife.

Depending on the selected model, sharpeners can have a fixed or replaceable angle, which can be selected individually for the cutting tool.

What to look for when choosing a pocket knife sharpener

In order to return the sharpness to your favorite knife in hiking, outdoor or camping conditions, you need to choose the right sharpening tool.

To ensure that portable sharpeners meet your needs, pay attention to the following features:

• The degree of abrasiveness, which affects whether you will grind the blade, sharpen or remove roughness;
• Weight class, which is especially important for a portable tool;
• The type of sharpening that you will be comfortable with in the field;
• The presence of a comfortable handle for fixing and holding the tool.

Consider and such an important nuance, as the cost of the model. If you want to order a quality tool with an abrasive that guarantees the ease of work and finishing of stainless steel and other materials, take into account the rather high price category, where the most inexpensive solution will be a keychain sharpener.
