Product Details
Pocket Pal X2™ Manual Knife Sharpener & Outdoor Tool by Smith's®. Introducing the next generation Pocket Pal, the Pocket Pal X2 Sharpener and Outdoors Tool. Like the current Pocket Pal, the new X2 is lightweight, compact, and durable, but this new version comes with several, really cool features. It features the same COARSE and FINE pull-through sharpening slots and fold out, tapered diamond rod as the current Pocket Pal but adds a fire starter, compass, LED light, and signal whistle to its compact frame. It's the perfect tool for backpackers, hikers, campers, and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Notes
- Some of Smith's first production pieces of this item did not have the slot labels "CARBIDE" and "CERAMIC" printed on them. If you receive one of these pieces, Smith's apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that Smith's have since corrected this issue and have included an image in the collection of product shots showing what the slot labels will look like for your reference. If later you forget which slot is "CARBIDE" and which is "CERAMIC" on your product and can't reference the photo, use this rule as your guide. The slot to the left of the PULL arrow (when the arrow is pointing toward you) is the CARBIDE (Coarse) slot. The slot to the right of the PULL arrow is the CERAMIC (Fine) slot.
