Sharpening a Commander

[Kampfjaeger]

I've read the pages on the EKI website concerning how to sharpen the Commander knife. My question is in regards to technique Mr. Emerson refers to as "my way." What kind of sharpener is he using? Does anybody know the specific brand/model name of the sharpening rod he is using? Thanks!

Look here for what I found works best for me: www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/001291.html

Any of the triangle shaped stones (Spyderco, GATCO Triseps) will work, or anything that is slightly convex or rounded should get the job done on the concave part of the blade.

Hope this helps!

Thanks... I was looking in particular for a diamond stick like what Mr. Emerson was using in the pictures he provided in his sharpening section.
