pocket serration sharpener

[prndltech]

Just one medium grit sharpmaker rod is too big?
You could deliberately break one in order to get smaller pieces, but that's not a "nice" solution somehow...

I figured it would shatter. How do you break it?

Where’s ol 40mm when we need him.

I accidentally dropped a brown rod on the tile floor and it broke, all I needed was some caps and it was just like that Lansky product just like a shorter sharpmaker stone. Think that’s what 40mm did as well

I've carried a Goldenstone in my backpack but it's a bit heavy. I'm waiting for the Webfoot to come out which should be lighter. Until then I would carry a single diamond or CBN rod.

Webfoot ? Do tell…

Yeah, now I remember. I shall probably build a combo with the Goldenstone.

I designed the Double Stuff 2 as a portable stone that could sharpen serrations, That's why we tooled up for the part. I don't think any other portable sharpener on the market will work as well.

Is there a tutorial, Sal ? Do you sharpen scallop by scallop ?

Hi Marius,

One would use the same method as you would use for the sharpmaker. I do not think that sharpening each serration separately is effective. I

The 702 M/F profile stones have been standard in my EDC bag for years and have served me well in countless situations, even with serrated edges. The 702 were the 4 inch (outdoor)version of the longer 701 stones, unfortunately both are no longer made.

lansky makes a pocket sized ceramic stone specifically for spyderco.

Oh that seems perfect!

it works well enough for a quick touch-up, especially on softer steels, which i prefer. i've used it on h1, lc200n, and s30v (and some others from other manufacturers) and it does the trick. it's about the equivalent to the brown sharpmaker rods, so it's not a super fine edge and it's not reprofiling... just bringing the edge back after a little use.

Well I’ve broken 2 brown Sharpmaker stones in ~20 years… dropping them on the floor. They broke pretty much in half. I have pieces scattered in various kits. The Doublestuff 2 is the right stuff though. Great pocket stone. The newer white ceramic seems a bit toothier than my last remaining original Sharpmaker rod, I prefer it. Bridges the gap between the CBN and ceramic well.

Sal, just a piece of feedback for you. When I go to spyderco webpage for sharpeners, double stuff 2 doesn’t show up. Might be an oversight?

A diamond wet saw for cutting tile does a fine job cutting ceramic rods. A hammer is effective but harder to control. Scoring with a Dremel diamond wheel would help steer the break where you want it.

Hi sethwm,

Thanx. I just noticed that myself. I let Kristi know.

Right, not listed automatically, though it actually IS there: But just if one uses the search function and types in "double stuff 2" ...

Right but I didn’t know the product existed when I first started looking for this…

Yep, they´ll certainly have to fix that - as you say, people who "just" browse through the sharpener section of the site and are not aware of that specific product (MOST people I guess, including me till not so long ago) currently will never find and see the Double Stuff 2 on the Spyderco site.

Kristi said she got it sorted and you should be able to see the "2" while browsing Sharpeners.

Thanx Kristi.

Glad to see you're still using them.

So folks actually go from cbn to fine with medium in between?
