Best Small Knife Sharpener for Pack?

Jeff,
Similar to Chew's recommendation, I got my campmates each one of these for their packs... I'm the resident knife sharpener in our camp, but this sharpener works very well, and has the round diamond blade for serrated knives. We all found them to work very well for a knife that already has an edge... For touch up, a few strokes on the finishing/ ceramic blades gets you back to cuttin' quick, fast n in a hurry...
And FYI, two of the guys carry Gerbers, one serrated and one not...
For serrated blades use the round attachment and only on the ground side trying to match the angle of the grind, then drag it lightly over the finishing ceramic blades to knock off any burr and that finishes em out very nicely.

They won't work good for a rough edge, but if you just need to fine tune your blade, this is a good tool to have. They are small enough to carry anywhere, and will put a razor edge on your knife. I may have one laying around I'll ship you if you wanna give it a try!

I've messed with alot of sharpeners and this is the one I keep going back to. For most of my skinning, processing and fish cleaning I use commercial type knives that are not the hardest steel. I touch them up as I use them on a good steel. Every so often I reset my bevel, clean up any nicks I might have, etc on this little setup and then take it back up to shaving sharp and it takes no time. On harder steel it is for sure more time consuming. But for Victorinox, Dexter Russel, Mundial type blades it works like magic. I can take one from totally dull to shaving sharp in just a couple of minutes and with regular steeling stays there a good while.
It also has a built in broadhead wrench if you pull both the silver abrasive plates off of it. They are held on with magnets. Inside is a 3 and 4 blade broadhead wrench. It also has a groove running down the bigger ceramic rod for sharpening fish hooks.
This really is a great product. It isn't the cheapest but it's well worth the price.
