Great Travel Partner
This is replacing another well used Smith sharpener. This one is suited for a wider range of knives because it has an integral sharpener for serrated edges and has a wider opening. I recently acquired a small non-folding knife that has a quarter inch spine. My other sharpener would not accept the blade, but this design does so easily. I still would not use it for a real high dollar knife and it is no substitute for a good set of bench stones, but it is great for taking along on trips to keep your cutting edges in reasonably good shape. Small and light weight, there are not too many reasons for not taking this along with you!
Think Practical, not Precision
I needed a small effective knife sharpener for the Swiss Army Knife I take camping and the small pocket knives I use when working or use for everyday. This fills the bill. If you are looking for a finely honed blade, this is NOT the product for you. But if you want to keep a reasonably sharp edge, and don't want to tote a larger unit, this will fill the bill nicely. You can cut paper with this edge, or a rope or a piece of meat, but I wouldn't use it to dress a deer or filet something. You'll want a more finely honed edge than that. But if you're like me who needs to maintain a reasonably sharp edge for day to day, or out in the field, and don't want to take a lot of time to maintain it, then this fills the bill.
Does What it Says!
I got this for my camping knives and EDC knife. Puts a nice sharp edge on and having the diamond rod is nice for the serrated edges. Easy to clean, as I use an old toothbrush to get in and around the stones. I have not sharpened gut hooks, but believe it would do a good job with those as well. One thing I recommend, check the screw that holds the stones in once in a while. I have not had it come loose, but it is a screw, so there is always that chance. Overall, this a nice affordable and small sharpener you can carry pretty easily.
Excellent little sharpener...
I have the kitchen version of this sharpener and now I always have sharp kitchen knives. I was so impressed with the edge on these knives that I bought three of these for christmas and sent one of them to my Son in Iraq. I am sure that it will work well on his Ka-Bar combat knife. Mine will be used on my pocket folder to ensure that I am always carrying a razor sharp knife. The third one is for my future son-in-law the Federal Policeman for use on his Tactical Folder. This is the sharpening system for anyone who wants a razor edge in Ten Strokes or less...
Getting An Edge Quick
I've used a Gerber steel for almost 40 years, and I have to say it still takes a pretty sharp focus to get a good edge. This little thing put an edge on my Opinel, Victorinox, and a few other knives, with little effort and time. It'll take a while to see if I still like this in a year or two, but so far it's pretty effective.
Sharp product
This thing is soooo easy to use. No oil is required. It's easy to clean. My blades come out sharp enough to shave. Great for the trail... weighs next to nothing and is tiny too. The only thing it's missing is a built in bottle opener!
Simple and Effective
Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multi-Functional Knife Sharpener is a worthwhile knife sharpener that is easy to use, compact, very affordable and perfect for field use when a quick sharpening is needed. The Carbides provide a quick edge setting for knives that are very dull or chipped. The ceramic stones provide a razor sharp finished edge on either standard or serrated edges. The carbide and ceramic stones are replaceable. A fold out, tapered round, diamond coated rod is designed for sharpening serrated as well as standard edges. The Pocket Pal Multi-Functional Knife Sharpener is lightweight, durable, and comes with a lanyard hole. It is small enough to put in your pocket if necessary or in an E.D.C. bag. I tested this sharpener on numerous knives such as a Spyderco, Ka-Bar Tactical, Leatherman, Air Force Survival knife and multiple Swiss Army Knives. I was very pleased how effective and efficient this sharpener worked. The tapered round, diamond coated rod was very easy to use on serrations. The only problem I encountered with this sharpener is that it does not seem to work as well with thicker blades. It does work but it is a little more difficult and the carbides seem to wear the blade down a bit more which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. I would not use this sharpener with a very high quality or expensive knife. I would say this sharpener is perfect for those times when a fast field sharpening of a camping or pocket knife is required. Overall, I highly recommend this product and I will be purchasing another as a backup.
great for the camper
great for quick touch ups in the field. puts a good edge on pocket knifes
Perfect Sharpener for the Trail
Smith’s Pocket Pal easily puts an edge back on any pocket knife. The materials that went into making the product are of good quality. The device easily fits into your pocket - you won’t even know it’s there. It’s small so be careful holding the sharpener when putting an edge on your knife.

Very easy to use would highly recommend this to anyone. Sharpens most blades
