Portable Sharpener?

[jeremy1517]

I have a BK2, what portable sharpener do you all recommend for taking into the field?

I have a Smiths Pocket Pal. It has Carbide/Ceramic and diamond rod. While you wont get to the sharpness of a stone or carrying a steel around it can fit in my lighter pocket in jeans and will get at least a very functional edge on straight blade or serrations. Best part other than being the size of a lighter is its only 10 bucks so if it gets lost or anything who cares.

I prefer the Smiths two sided diamond hone...about $16 at Walmart.

Small ceramic or diamond rod, or if you are a fan of the convex, a nail file/buffer thingy.

Fallkniven - DC4 ?

Tropical Shine small 4way nail buffer.

 

[Uncle Malice]

SharpMaker is fairly portable, although not terribly compact. DMT diamond cards work well.. or a small strop.

Thanks to Derek, I would have never thought of this myself. Nail file/buffer and I keep a strop in my wallet
