Match Safe observation

[taldesta]

Claim is "World's Fastest Sharpener" ... space age carbon edge 'peels the steel' . Have personally found quite handy and, from the posts here, I see they are being put to good use all round. Small, light, easy to use. Here they are featured in Canadian Tire, a supplier of tools, outdoor, fishing, hunting & camp equipment, general household and garden ...

What is a Speedy Sharp?

It's a carbide sharpening tool.

Corona makes one ... model AC 8300

This sub forum never ceases to amaze me with all the interesting and useful, (to myself anyway), knowledge that members share. Thanks everyone. :thumbup:

I've had a Corona for about 5 years now. Scraped a lot of fire and sharpened a machete a few times with NO discernable wear. It's a great little tool.

Another use for these match cases is they can hold two 123a batteries or one 18650 battery as well.

The carbide in these comes from a company called micro100, and they only do solid carbide.

I would guess that they sell the out of spec lathe tools as sharpeners to recoup some of their costs.

I was thinking it was an old brazed parting tool of some kind, it even seems to have clearance angles on it but I didn't look that closely.
