Compact Pen-Style Design for Everyday Carry
Shaped like a slim pen or stylus, the Cold Steel Stylus Sharpener slips easily into your pocket, pack, or tool roll:
Sleek, cylindrical body that looks and carries like a pen
Ideal for EDC kits, range bags, hunting packs, tackle boxes, and workshop aprons
Low-profile appearance that doesn’t scream “sharpening tool,” making it easy to carry in professional environments
If you want sharpening capability without bulky stones or gadgets, this is a discreet, convenient solution.
Retractable 600 Grit Fine Sharpener
The heart of the tool is its 600-grit fine sharpening rod, perfect for refining and maintaining working edges:
600 grit (fine) is ideal for touching up already sharp blades, smoothing micro-chips, and refining edges after coarser sharpening
Retractable rod slides back into the body to protect the abrasive surface and prevent damage when not in use
Fine grit delivers a clean, polished edge suitable for EDC, culinary, and hunting knives
Use it to restore bite on pocket knives, folders, fixed blades, and even some small tools and hooks (depending on edge shape).
Pocket Clip for Secure, Accessible Carry
Never dig around your bag for a sharpener again:
Integrated pocket clip lets you carry it like a pen on your jeans, shirt pocket, pack strap, or organizer panel
Keeps the sharpener secure, upright, and easy to grab when you need to tune your edge
Great for tradespeople, outdoorsmen, or anyone who likes to carry a sharpener daily
The pocket clip ensures this stylus sharpener becomes part of your everyday toolkit, not something you leave behind.
Easy to Use – Quick Edge Touch-Ups Anywhere
The Cold Steel Stylus Knife Sharpener is designed for simple, intuitive use:
Extend the 600-grit rod from the body.
Hold the sharpener like a pen and your knife at the desired angle (commonly ~20° per side for many EDC blades).
Draw the edge lightly along the rod, alternating sides, until it feels sharp and responsive.
Because it’s compact and pen-like, it’s natural to handle—even if you’re new to sharpening.
Perfect for Knives, Small Tools & Field Kits
This stylus-style sharpener is extremely versatile:
Pocket & EDC knives – Keep your daily carry blade tuned up at work or on the road.
Hunting & fishing knives – Touch up edges between field dressing tasks or while cleaning fish.
Camp & utility tools – Useful for small blades, multi-tool edges, and some hooks and points.
It’s an excellent addition to:
Anywhere you rely on a sharp blade, this tool earns its place.
