Rough Rider Rough Rider Pocket Diamond Sharpener



Has its limitations but is a wonderful knife sharpener.
I've owned this pocket sharpener for nearly a year now. The diamond coating is fairly durable, and I have not seen significant wear despite all of the knives I've honed with this little gem. The clip is almost useless and snapped off within a month of owning this, but it was not that important to me. However, the plastic lip on the case has broken from a drop that was about 4 ft off the ground (fell off of my desk). I used JB weld to bind it back together and I haven't had any problems since, as I have been more cautious with this thing since it fell.

I was able to use this sharpener to put serrations into one of my fixed blade knives. Due to its short shaft, I have typically only used this to sharpen smaller knives. Although it can be used for longer blades, I typically like using a stone for things like cleavers or other kitchen knives.

It doubles as an ice pick, but I would still be careful about using the case as a handle since mine snapped from impact.
