My ancient Gerber steel (probably pre-foldout) came in a leather sheath, looked like a small prybar with a hole and leather loop, and was just that: a steel, to "align" the edge... no imbedded diamond dust, carbide, etc to actually cut away steel from a blade.
The Gerber I currently carry is mre related to the Eze-Lap sharpener with the brass case/handle.... with important differences:

Sorry... I hit some wrong button on this Devil's Box and had a "premature posting" (!)
Anyway the new Gerber sharpening rod is ligkt to carry, is cheaper that the Eze-Lap, has more "bite to the diamond surface, has a pocket clip, etc.

Hope this helps.....
