New Gear - Keeping Your Knives Sharp

8/27/2019

Lansky QuadSharp Knife Sharpener

Since a sharp knife is critical to so many outdoor activities, we have lots of tools to try to keep our cutting edges as honed as possible. That leads to us having several ways to sharpen our blades – from files and 6,000 grit whetstones to use at home - to small sharpening stones to use in the field (as can be seen on our Camping/Tools page).

​We recently added another small tool to our kit; the “Lansky QuadSharp Knife Sharpener” since it’s a compact tool specifically made to maintain your knives at the exact angle you need their edges to be while you’re in the field. The QuadSharp has preset carbide “V” grooves for four sharpening angles to help you sharpen your blade in 3 or 4 strokes:

  • 17º - For filet knives, scalpels, and other similar blades that require an extremely sharp but delicate edge.
  • 20º - For high quality slicing, skinning and kitchen knives that need to be sharp and sturdy.
  • 25º - For hunting and outdoor knives that need a sharp but durable edge.
  • 30º - The most durable edge for knives that see heavy use such as cutting rope, or cardboard or are used for chopping.
 
The QuadSharp also has a sturdy metal body, an 800 grit ceramic benchstone for fine polishing,  and can be used on regular, serrated (by sharpening one serration at a time by pulling the ceramic element against the grooved side of the serration) and filet knives. Measuring 4 ½” x 1 ½” x 3/8”, and weighing ~3 ounces, the QuadSharp is a small tool that’s easy to add to your gear and easy to use in the field when you can’t get to a larger sharpening stone.
 
You can purchase the “Lansky QuadSharp Knife Sharpener” at Amazon.
