Knives of Alaska sharpening steel

These arrived today after I ordered them on Monday. A quick review. Being that they are on the smaller side, I used one on my SAK and it put a quick toothy edge on the larger blade in a hurry with the course side and cleaned it up with the finer side. Total duration from start to finish: 10 minutes.

I think think they are going to make a good addition to the kit. It would be hard to use on a larger fixed blade due to the size, but it could due in a pinch.

Cerberus, what are they made out of? What kind of grit? They look like they would be a good asset in the field.
