Smaller Portable Sharpmaker
I was wondering if Sal and the Spyderco team had thought of a producing a smaller portable sharpmaker that would be easy to carry in your pack on a regular basis. Just a thought.

I carry a regular Golden Stone when I travel. I also have a fixture that sets it at 30 degrees. We're working on a smaller Tri-Angle sharpmaker. the design is finished, but it's still in Engineering. Then tooling. Still a ways out. Pretty cool though.
It's not pocket sized. We have many small stones that can be carried in a pocket and there are a variety of other abrasives available that are small. This sharpener is as small as we could make it and still hae 5" of abrasive.

Say this fixture that sets the GOLDENSTONE at 30 degrees? Is that something that will be for sale, available for us to buy sometime in the future?sal wrote:I carry a regular Golden Stone when I travel. I also have a fixture that sets it at 30 degrees.

That just sounds really cool and I'm sure gives the GOLDENSTONE a lot more versatility. I love my GOLDENSTONE and DUCKFOOT both and want to learn more about them.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

The Fold A Vee comes pretty close to perfect, it's what I carry in my pack. Basically as $13 folding sharpmaker that does 25 and 17 degree edges.

Hi Mark,
The "fold-A-Vee" was one of my inventions. Sold it to Lansky years ago.

I had given you credit for the design in my review, but I would just like to say, thank you for inventing this miraculous device. It's really changed my (sharpening) life, as I now constantly have a sharpener with me when I'm out of the house, or when I travel. It's really awesome.
I keep it in my "toolitries kit," and it has come in handy many, many times since I bought it.

I can see how hitting angles more exactly with a fixed-station setup would be ideal when you get home. While traveling for basic maintenance the fine stones of the 701 profiles are all I use. I can imagine products like the Doublestuff, Goldenstone, file set, or the various flat stones would be great as well.
