Gatco Tri Seps sharpeners for "field use"

#1

Post by AllenETreat »

To : ALL



Well forumites, I own only one sharpener and

the Tri Seps ( ceramic ) is it. I find it

puzzling how larger sharpeners appleal with

most "knife nuts" as opposed to the "field

handy" "dog bone". This baby will fit on a

keyring and does an excellent job on just

about every EDC made ; it even has a groove

for fish hooks ( and icepicks <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>). It's also

availible in diamond at M.S.R.P. $19.99. I

got my Tri Seps from Cheaper than dirt for

$7.99. Maybe it's just that Army mindset of

"travel light, strike hard" or the love of simpler things. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I also love this sharpener..its like 9.95 here so i bought 3 at once..1 in my day pack, 1 for around the house, 1 for the key chain. im sure the 204 is a better sharpener over all but ive always kinda been able to fee hand a edge..its 800 grit so at 1st i worried how this would leave a finish edge..i find it to put a microscopic saw tooth edge that is just perfect for field use. i hunt or fish probably 150 days out of a yr, since a carear ending back problem..i was a long haul trucker b4 1 decided to crush me..... ok off subject sorry :-( You will find its easier to clean the carbon off with a rag soaked in wd-40.

My "field sharpener" has always been my <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Double Stuff. But I do have a Tri-steps to back it up. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I carry both a DoubleStuff and a chunk of Fine Spydie triange stone.

Cutting Edge cuts them down and sells small chunks for pocket touchups. 2.5-3" of Fine is $3 when I got it.

Sharpen Xactos and everything else. Any large jobs wait till I get home(or find a quiet spot to sharpen).
