        Comments about Smith's Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener:

        I have the kitchen version of this sharpener and now I always have sharp kitchen knives. I was so impressed with the edge on these knives that I bought three of these for christmas and sent one of them to my Son in Iraq. I am sure that it will work well on his Ka-Bar combat knife. Mine will be used on my pocket folder to ensure that I am always carrying a razor sharp knife. The third one is for my future son-in-law the Federal Policeman for use on his Tactical Folder. This is the sharpening system for anyone who wants a razor edge in Ten Strokes or less...

          This thing is soooo easy to use. No oil is required. It's easy to clean. My blades come out sharp enough to shave. Great for the trail... weighs next to nothing and is tiny too. The only thing it's missing is a built in bottle opener!

            Comments about Smith's Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener:

            It says that it is a knife sharpener, but it takes a good knife and turns it into a butter knife. I bought it to take hunting, but I tried it at home home first. Terrible!!! There is no way I could cut cold butter with my knife now, let alone skin a deer. I'm going back to my Lansky!!! A waste of $$$$$

              I am very impressed with the Smiths Pocket Pal ability to put an edge on my knives. It is portable, easy to use knife sharpener. I use it to sharpen my 2.75" folding Gerber Magnum Jr pocket knife and my fixed blade Big Rock Camp knife.

              Comments about Smith's Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener:

              The product has a hole in the top that appears to invite it to be attached to a lanyard. But the stones fall out from ordinary wear and tear if carried in this way. Otherwise, it does what it is supposed to, i.e., quick and effective in-the- field sharpening. But keep it in your tool bag.
