Pocket sharpeners

Pocket sharpeners

— miniature devices suitable for carrying in a regular pocket, or even as a keychain on a key. They can have a different design: a flat body with a pair of slots for sharpening, a “dog bone” in the form of a grinding rod with overlays at the ends, a folding “butterfly” with a whetstone instead of a blade, etc. Pocket sharpeners are very convenient in situations where the need to sharpen a knife may arise at any time, and it is inconvenient to use more bulky devices — for example, when going out into the countryside. But it is not recommended to use them as the main grinding device — small sizes do not contribute to the quality of processing.
