- What is included in the box?
- The sharpener itself with two diamond plates, a ceramic rod and a leather strop built into the body. No extra stones or cases are included.
- Can it sharpen serrated knives?
- Yes. The ceramic rod is the right tool for serrations, and the diamond plates handle plain edges.
- Does it work on hard steels?
- Diamond abrasive cuts most modern steels, though very wear-resistant blades take more passes on the small plates.
- Is it a replacement for a bench stone?
- For touch-ups and field use, yes. For reprofiling or repairing chips, a larger guided system is faster.
- How do I keep the leather strop working?
- Apply a little stropping compound when the leather stops polishing, and wipe the plates clean after use.
- Where is the Work Sharp Guided Field Knife Sharpener cheapest?
- At Tractor Supply Co, for $49.99, as of our latest check.
