SHARPAL 101N-G Kitchen Pocket Knife Sharpener

Ok, I've owned the other one of these by the company staying with an "S". Had it for years from the days when I was active duty. This is one performs like that but better. It is larger so big hands, small hands ... Whatever, it will be very comfortable using. The added spark rod is a plus. If your blade needs a touch up stick to the ceramic. It does a fine job of getting it sharp. If your knife is a edc all purpose, in need of serious TLC....use the coarse then ceramic. This is great for field use! Used it on my machete and my fishing filet knife no issues.

Yo yo yo to all my Sharp Pals out there! Now pocket sharpeners aren't a new concept, with or without accessories. This sharpener couldn't have been better designed. Standard carbide and ceramic blades for sharpening and repair. Diamond rod on back for hooks , saw blades etc. I owned the Smith pocket pal long before the Sharpal. I LOVE THE POCKET PAL! But this sharpal is offering healthy competition due to its larger size. The hefty nature makes it easier to hold therefore control during sharpening. The edge is " bumpy" and rubberized( or whatever)to help grip it, especially when using the included ferro rod, that can shower sparks using the carbide blades. The larger size also allows space for a whistle, (which is as important as my sharpener when im camping) and a ferro rod inserted (and locked) into the body of the sharpener. Makes for a great all in one tool. Lanyard hole is smaller, but throw a keyring in it, tie it around ur neck or whatever. It's compact and tough enough to go in a pocket with no worries, or survive the crushing depth of your B.O.B or camping supplies. Green comes with xtra rod. I bought 1 orange too. 1 is none

Nice 10 in 1 tool ! Sharpener tool works great , the fire starter works very well and the hook sharpener is very good too. This product is a very smart buy. Fits in your pocket and is very very handy.

Nice little pocket tool I am not sure of durability yet

I've used several little sharpeners like this and this is one of the better ones. Easy to use and puts a good edge on knives. Don't expect it to get your knifes razor sharp but it will get them sharp enough to for example cut through a old soft tomato. As mentioned in the headline the whistle is loud and the fire starter work. The rods have a coating on them you need to scrape off first, any reviews saying they don't work must just not know how to use them. Will I ever need the whistle or fire starter probably not but they're nice to have and although they add to the size of it it's still just small enough to carry with you in your pocket/throw on a key chain.

nice little tool

Buy several. This unit really works! The tapered hook sharpener works a a rasp for wood and plastics. Fero rod throws a spark. Whistle is loud. Sharpens with quickness and ease

Works as shown and is exactly what I newded
