| Adam |  Handy Sharpening ToyJuly 14th, 2005 01:19 PM July 14, 2005 Handy Sharpening Toy My car keys are on a keychain that sports a three inch long by one inch wide piece of brightly colored plastic (never mislay this baby) that has a secret. With a gentle push a hidden door hinges open and a metal plate impregnated with DIAMONDS emerges. BLING-BLING! No... tiny sharpening diamonds. This plate will never wear hollowed and a quick rub with a moistened finger will remove any past metal debris from the sharpening surface. I use it to keep my knife sharp. He's got a WEAPON! My UTILITY knife was used to open boxes when I stocked (as a Tool Territory, hourly paid associate) and now used to "peel" returned open boxes for item evaluations in my area ONLY. I've never seen anything dull a blade better than all that cardboard. Sears doesn't pay for new "disposable" blades. I DO. The key chains are sold in different colors, Blue is for coarse grit, Red is fine and the Green I carry is for extra-fine. Sears carries the Blue and Red versions. The California local OSH stores carry the Green version. They're a big ten bucks each. They work very well in a touch up capacity. Touch up use includes knifes (few sharpeners that "make a dent" in Stainless steel blades), lawn mower blades (frequent touch ups), machetes, bill hooks, hatchets, wood chisels (in the field). I highly recommend them. If you like their cutting action, mo' bigger ones are available from both the DMT company (colored plastic) and Norton Abrasives (thick metal plates). |
