Introduction The Buck 97070 Diamond Pocket Sharpener is a small sharpening rod to sharpen your knives. The sharpening steel has a diamond coating with a grain size of 400 grit. Diamond is a lot harder than steel. It can easily sharpen steel. Another property is that diamond hardly gets clogged up with sharpening residue. You don’t add water or oil as you sharpen your knife. As such you don’t have to prepare anything before you start sharpening. Diamond needs to be ‘sharpened in’ before use. When you just start using the sharpening steel it is much coarser than the final grind. First try out the sharpening steel on larger tools before you start using it on finer tools. How will you know if the sharpening steel is ready to go? First sharpen one half and compare it to the other half. After using it a couple of times the steel will hardly become any smoother. That is when you know you are good to go. ## Which tools can you sharpen with this pen? ### Garden tools Sharpening axes, machetes, spades, pruning shears, knives and other garden tools are a piece of cake with this sharpener. ### Outdoor knives You can also use this sharpening pen when you’re on the road. After using your axe or knife, for instance. Sharpen your knife at the campfire. ### Fishing For anglers, this sharpening steel contains a slot in the round bottom.
