Classic X pocket sharpener - battle-tested
Known among experts and respected by practitioners, two-stage X-shaped pocket sharpener is one of the most widely used rapid sharpening tools in the world. Thanks to its compact size and ease of use, it works well both at home and in the field.
Construction and operation
Body: sturdy plastic for stability and durability.
Mills V: two carbide segments for quick edge restoration.
Fine-grained ceramic mill: for smoothing and refining the blade in the second stage.
The sharpener works on the principle of pulling chips from the cutting edge along the blade, allowing it to quickly restore useful sharpness even on softer steels. This is not the classic grinding, but a practical method of edge restoration, especially with carbon blades and low carbon steels.
Rules of use
Pressing too hard or working too fast can cause blade vibration and uneven grinding.
Better results are obtained with weaker pressure and more repetitions.
The second stage of sharpening, using ceramic rods, allows you to smooth the blade and refine the edge.
Application
Ideal for quickly restoring usable focus in the field and at home.
Particularly effective for carbon steels and mild utility steels, where traditional rods or whetstones can turn the edge or create burrs.
A tool for practical applications where it counts speed and simplicity instead of perfect focus.
Advantages
Compact size - can be taken anywhere.
Ease of use - intuitive, fast operation.
Safe use - rubberized handles and feet prevent the sharpener from moving during operation.
Affordable price - excellent value for money.
FAQ
Is the sharpener suitable for high carbon or powder steel?
No, the sharpener works best with carbon and mild steels; for powder or very hard steels, water or diamond stones are recommended.
Can the sharpener be used wet?
It is not necessary to use water, although when sharpening steel knives at home, they can be slightly moistened to reduce the formation of chips and make the work easier.
