Smith’s Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener

This sharpener is fantastic for the price. It offers three different options to sharpen your blade on the go.

This sharpener is incredible. It’s very light and compact. At first I was concerned about the quality of this product because the plastic that it’s made from seemed cheap, but it has held together quite well.

It offers a ceramic and carbide sharpening option (pictured above), and also has a rod you can use to sharpen serrations. There is a slot on the tool carved out for your thumb while you’re holding and using the sharpener. It’s all right. The tool is so small that it takes a fat minute to find a comfortable grip.

Each sharpener on the tool works great. You’re not going to get the world's greatest edge, but you’ll get a satisfying edge that you can use for your remaining time in the field. I used this on my OKC Rat 2. The blade actually got a small chip in it while I was camping. I used this sharpener to get that chip out so that I had a good edge for the rest of my week-long camping trip. It took me about 10 minutes to get a decent edge on it again.

I recommend purchasing this little guy if you’re looking for a cheap field sharpener. It’s a good one.
