Gerber Ceramic Pocket Knife Sharpener

Pocket Ceramic Sharpener

The Gerber Ceramic Pocket Knife Sharpener is a flat, palm-sized tool for bringing an edge back when you are away from a bench stone. It has two pull-through slots, one coarse and one fine, so you can reset a dull blade and then refine it in the same few minutes. It suits hunters, campers and everyday carriers who want a sharpener that rides in a pocket or on a key ring.

Features

• Ceramic Sharpening Elements — Ceramic is harder than most knife steels, so it removes metal and aligns the edge without wearing down quickly.
• Coarse Slot — The slot marked COARSE does the heavier work of restoring a blade that has gone noticeably dull.
• Fine Slot — The slot marked FINE hones the edge after the coarse pass, leaving it cleaner and sharper.
• Pull-Through V-Notch Design — The crossed ceramics in each slot form a fixed V, so you pull the blade through and the tool sets the angle for you.
• Integrated Finger Guard — A raised curved ridge on the face gives the holding hand a defined grip point away from the slots.
• Textured Grip Surface — The pebbled black body gives a secure hold even with wet or cold hands.
• Lanyard Hole — A hole in the top corner lets you hang the sharpener on a key ring, lanyard or pack zipper.
• Flat Pocket Profile — The thin, rectangular body slips into a pocket, wallet slot or kit pouch without bulk.

Using It In The Field

Hold the sharpener by the finger guard on a steady surface, place the heel of the blade in the coarse slot and pull it toward you with light, even pressure a few times. Repeat in the fine slot to finish the edge. Because the angle is built in, there is no need to judge it by eye, which makes this a practical choice for anyone new to sharpening as well as a quick touch-up tool for experienced users.
