Diamond Sharpening Pencil

The small and light-pocket sharpening rod in a ballpoint pen format, set with industrial diamonds, combines a conical as well as a cylindrical side with a flattened contact surface and fishhook sharpening groove in the smallest of spaces. The conical side can be used for serrated edges, the cylindrical side for all straight edges of knives with steel blades. The unused side of the rod disappears into the aluminium handle and is secured with a cap nut. When not in use, the rod can be almost completely sunk into the handle and the sharpener can be attached to clothing with a spring steel clip. The first and lightest choice for expert sharpening on backpacking trips.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
