The Edge Master Diamond Retractable Sharpener is a handy tool to have on hand. You can choose the length of your sharpening steel and it comes with a pocket clip too. Just loosen the screw cap and pull the diamond rod out to the desired length and then tighten the screw cap so that the rode will not move. Perfect for sharpening for both flat or serrated edges and also includes a groove to sharpen fish hooks. Now you can sharpen your knife anywhere and anytime.

Use Instructions:
Loosen the metal screw cap and pull the diamond rod out of the desired length and then securely tighten the metal screw cap so that the rod will not move.

Sharpening straight edges: You can use either the tapered round rod or the half-round rod to sharpen your flat edged knives, but we recommend using the half round rod for best results. Always hold the handle with the rod facing down. Place heel of blade on the diamond rod closest to the screw cap.
Hold blade at manufacturer’s suggested angle. While applying pressure, push the knife away from you towards the end of the rod. Draw the knife down so that the tip of the blade comes off the end of the rod. For the other side of the blade repeat the above steps.

Sharpening serrated edges: Use the specially designed tapered round rod for serrated edges. Only sharpen the side of you knife-edge with serrations. Hold the rod at manufacturers suggested angle and move it back and forth through each serration until sharp.

Sharpening fishing hooks: Place the fishing hook in the groove and move back and forth until sharp. Store the rod in the handle with tapered end down when finished sharpening. Clean the rod after each use with a dry cloth or a soft dry toothbrush.
