Keep your hunting knife sharp and ready to perform in the field with two great sharpeners and a sharpening eBook from ShopBlade.

    •A 1”x 5” flat diamond stone;

    •A surface with a large radius for sharpening plain edges and a small radius for serrations;

    •Three grooves, including a wide radius channel for de-burring and a narrow radius channel for honing fish hooks, etc.;

    •Includes a suede leather carry case and an instructional DVD.

    A great pocket sharpener for field touch-ups of plain-edge blades is GATCO’s Military Compact Sharpener (MCS). All it takes is a few strokes on the compact sharpener’s replaceable tungsten carbide blades set for a 40-degree angle and your knife is ready to cut. Size: 2.75” x 1.06” x .30”. Weight: 1.5 ounces.
