Question 2

Do you think it will ruin the blade if i sharpen it with a Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Sharpener?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Don't get the Smith's Pocket Pal (the quality is low compared to the Lansky Sharpeners).

Buy either a Lansky Blade Medic or a Lansky Quad Sharp (both sharpeners under $15.00). Both are all metal construction (not made of plastic and can take years of rugged abuse without falling apart.

Blade medics are my go to in all my packs and bugout bags because they are easy to add a razor sharp edge to your knife very quickly. They have preset 25 degree sharpeners in carbide and ceramic. Also, it has a ceramic stone for free hand honing and a round diamond file for serrated blades. I've always had razor sharp blades using the blade medic.

The Quadsharp has four preset carbide sharpeners set to 17, 20, 25, and 30 degrees as well as a white ceramic honing tool to remove the burs from the blade edge.

Finishing up with a leather or polyester strop is always a good idea (if you aren't  familiar with honing with a ceramic rod/stone which with my sharpening skill works just the same if not better). Remember, ceramic is harder than steel.

A little fact: Ceramic stones/rods come in a variety from course to ultra fine. Ultra Fine, Black, Ceramic Stones have been (and still are in other countries) used to sharpen medical scapels to cut open flesh during surgery. The scapel doesn't need to be stroped after using a Black Ceramic Stone.

As for me, I purchase the ceramic rods below and use them free hand to keep my knifes razor sharp (the 4 1/2 in for knife cases and bugout bags and the 8 1/2 for general home use):
