Portable Diamond-Coated Kershaw Ultra Tek Sharpener for Razor-Sharp Blades
Operation and Clever Design
The Ultra Tek is designed for those on the move. When closed, the diamond-coated rod is safely stored inside the handle to prevent damage to the grit or your clothing. To use it, simply unscrew the rod, flip it over, and screw it back onto the handle top. This creates a solid, 22.9 cm (approx. 9") tool that provides excellent leverage and comfort during the sharpening process.
To achieve that famous razor sharpness, hold your blade at a 20-degree angle against the diamond-coated steel. Swipe the blade across the rod from heel to tip, alternating sides with each stroke. The 600 grit surface is perfect for realigning an edge that has lost its bite, ensuring your tools are always ready for action.

Historical Context and Maintenance
The maintenance of edge tools has been a critical skill since the Bronze Age. From the whetstones of the Roman legions to the pocket steels of 19th-century sailors, keeping a blade sharp was essential for both work and survival. The Ultra Tek utilizes modern diamond technology, which is significantly harder and more durable than traditional stones, allowing it to sharpen even the most advanced modern tool steels without the need for water or oil. The oval cross-section provides a larger contact area, making the honing process more efficient than a round rod.
Care and Safety Instructions
Maintenance is straightforward: after use, wipe the rod with a dry cloth to remove metal filings. If the grit becomes clogged, clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring it is dried completely before storing it back in the handle. No lubrication is required for the diamond surface.
Always keep your fingers behind the handle's knurled section while sharpening. Use controlled, consistent strokes rather than brute force; the diamonds do the work for you. Avoid dropping the sharpener on hard surfaces, as this can chip the diamond coating or mar the anodized finish of the aluminium handle. Never use the rod as a pry bar or screwdriver, as this will cause irreparable damage to the sharpening surface.
This sharpener is the perfect companion for a quality folding knife or a classic medieval seax, ensuring your collection remains as functional as it is beautiful.
