WHats the best sharpener for this knife. Can I use Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener?

I just end up taking my blades to a cutlery store for sharpening. I haven't had much luck with pocket sharpeners.

That'll work just fine. It doesn't hold an edge very well, so constant sharpening will be needed. Any one of those handheld sharpeners with that sharpening V will be quickest and easiest way to go.

Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System - Pick up a serrated stone to touch up the teeth. I use the Lansky PS-MED01 BladeMedic (Same as PP1) for field sharpening.

as a compact field sharpener, yes but don't expect a high quality or razor edge. The PP1has its pros and cons, if you want the best edge you can get use a lansky or gatco

Yes, I sharpen my pocket knives and outdoor knives on it! Get a set of edge pro stones though

Hi Jenny. I usually use only the "Smith's DCS4 4-Inch FINE & COARSE Diamond Combo Sharpening Stones" and works great. The knives stay very sharp for 1 month, in moderate use.

I am only familiar with the TrueSharp brand sharpener. That is the one I purchased and it works great.

Hello Kullen, any sharpener will do the job thought we strongly recommend Blizetec 3-in-1 knife sharpener. It's best suited to sharpen pocket knife as such. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

The best thing to do in my opinion is to ship to CS if you have a spare or don't need it for a while. I've had some bad experiences sharpening. At the same time, I don't claim to be a pro. They are pretty cheap. Otherwise, I'd say wetstone is best

The Smith PP1 sharpener with the diamond coated rod should do the trick, I haven't needed to sharpen it yet however

I sharpen all my own knove as a collector. For a good starter you can use this one:

Any sharpening stone will work. I prefer to use a red handled sharpener made by Corona (AC 8300 is printed on it). It takes the metal down faster than a stone which I like when I am out pruning lots of fruit trees and it's lightweight. It costs under $10.00 the last time I bought one.

I've used the Premier. It does not work well -- it constantly breaks tips while sharpening.

I've had a ZDP189 Spyderco knife and I didn't like it. It was just too hard to get as sharp as the VG10 steel. I had to sharpen it less but it took MUCH more work to get it sharpened. I perfer the VG10. It stays sharp and if it goes a bit off sharp, you can get it back to razor sharp with just a couple minutes work.

Yes, I use the AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener , which works very well then I hone it with a ceramic rod, Smith's 50002 9-Inch Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod

Any flat stone or crock stick will work. The blade is a modified tanto so it's a little less tricky to sharpen than the original style tanto. Good luck.

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker sharpening kit for all my knives, including this one. It comes with instructions and default stones that work great.

I bought a Wusthof electric knife... and my brother in law bought a chef's choice. Both are the same sharpner but diferent brand.

I'd recommend the Spyderco Sharpmaker. It can sharpen both straight edge and serrated (as well as things like scissors, chisels, hooks, and a number of other things).

cutco offers free sharpening service with their knives, I have this sharpener and would recommend it but would not use it on cutco knives.... it may void their warranty.
