Product Description
Product Description
The blades on all Gerber knives and multitools are engineered from a high-quality stainless steel which excels at edge retention. There still comes a time when proper sharpening is called for, however, and for those occasions there's the Gerber diamond knife sharpener. This effective sharpener can be used to finely tune the blade on any tool, from chisels to knives to multitools, and it also has a groove for sharpening fish hooks.
The Gerber diamond sharpener takes its name from the finely ground diamonds which coat its steel shaft. Diamond is an incredibly hard material and its incorporation into the design of the sharpener ensures that the tool is both easy and effective to use. The sharpening element is contained within a pen-like aluminium barrel which functions in two ways--it keeps the element clean and it also protects your hands from the blade you are sharpening. The sharpener has both a flat and a curved edge, for use with serrated and straight-edged blades, and can be released and secured by simply twisting a nut.
The diamond knife sharpener incorporates a pocket clip for convenience and is clam packed, which makes it an ideal gift for fishermen, DIY enthusiasts or fans of Gerber products. The diamond knife sharpener comes with a limited lifetime guarantee.

Over the years I had tried to find an ideal knife sharpener for a sheath knife and various pocket knives. One knife in particular seemed impossible to get a good edge on.
I ordered this Gerber diamond sharpener more in hope - than expectation.
After the order I had an email saying they had sold out and were awaiting new stock - after a weeks wait this sharpener arrived.
This thing is a little miracle.... I'm so impressed.
Even the knife that nothing would sharpen is now like a razor...
I'm ordering another for a friend - you can't go wrong with this.

At 7.5cm long, this sharpener is just about perfect for sharpening the blade on a multi-tool (Leatherman, Gerber etc). Stowing into an aluminium body that looke very much like a pen, it's handy to carry around as well. Twist the locking barrel at the top of the pen body and the sharpening steel slide out ready for action, twist the locking barrel the other way and the steel will stay put while you sharpen.
There's only one grade of coarseness on the sharpener and it's quite coarse so only a few strokes are needed to put an edge onto the blade. With no fine grain sharpening you won't get the finesses / finish that you would from dedicated sharpening stones but the sharpness that's achievable is surprising, so be careful.
Theres a flat edge and a round body with a "V" notch along the length, which can be used to change profile of the sharpener, but I've found the best results come from sticking to the round side of the steel as it works better with the natural action of sharpening a knife.
To summarise, it's a great portable sharpener that you can keep in your shirt-pocket, clibboard, rucksack, car or wherever to put a really nice edge on your penknife. If you're looking to sharpen something bigger than a 6-7cm blade then this probably isn't the tool for you as you'll not get good coverage of the whole blade.

I have a couple of these little sharpeners ... and have used them on everything from taking the burrs from chisels to knife sharpening and even re-pointing the odd dart or two ... there is a handy little groove for that.
Although light weight, the tool is extremely robust and shows no evidence of wear.
The sharpening element is contained within a pen like aluminium barrel and just requires a twist to release the tool and once re-inserted the barrel becomes a very decent handle ... keeping fingers well away from the tool being sharpened.
Highly recommended ... as I said ... I bought 2.

A good utensil for rough sharpening a carbon steel blade. The resulting edge does require fine sharpening on a good diamond or non diamond steel. Read more

This is a good knife sharpner. The abrasive surface is effective. But it would be so much more effective if it were longer. Read more
