Product Description

The ESEE Field Sharpening Kit Medium Grit is a compact dual-sided pocket hone co-developed with DMT — a 4.00" tool that covers the two steps most field sharpening situations require: metal removal and edge finishing, in a package that fits flat in a pack pocket or kit bag.

The primary face is DMT monocrystalline industrial diamond plating at medium grit — the abrasive matrix for working out minor chips, re-profiling blunted angles, and restoring degraded edges on high-carbon steels like ESEE's own 1095 without water or oil. Monocrystalline diamond cuts faster and lasts longer than polycrystalline alternatives because each diamond point is a single crystal rather than a bonded aggregate — the difference shows up in both removal speed and how long the face stays flat. The reverse face is genuine leather strop — the finishing step that realigns micro-burrs and polishes the newly formed edge apex after the diamond face does its work.

The kit includes a leather protective carry case that shields both abrasive surfaces from trail debris, grease, and pocket contamination when packed. At 4.00" x 0.875" overall and 2.00 oz, this drops into a survival kit, field bag, or glove box without dedicated storage space.

Abrasive: DMT monocrystalline industrial diamond plating, medium grit — chip repair, bevel re-profiling, edge restoration on high-carbon steels
Finishing: Genuine leather strop pad reverse — micro-burr realignment and edge polishing
Includes: Leather protective carry case
Dimensions: 4.00" x 0.875" x 0.625" | Weight: 2.00 oz
No oil or water required

Ideal for search and rescue operators, hunters, and bushcrafters who need to repair damaged edges on the trail without carrying a full sharpening kit. A natural choice for ESEE knife owners who want a matched sharpening solution for 1095 carbon steel blades. Works well for any fixed blade or folder user who wants a two-step diamond-and-strop solution in a single pocket tool.

The ESEE Field Sharpening Kit Medium Grit (ESEE-SHARP-M) ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.

ESEE Field Sharpening Kit ESEE-SHARP-M: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the ESEE Knives Field Sharpening Kit Medium Grit with DMT diamond hone and leather strop, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline diamond abrasives? +

Monocrystalline diamond uses single-crystal diamond particles that cut with a consistent, sharp edge across the abrasive surface. Polycrystalline diamond uses bonded aggregates of smaller crystals that break down faster under use. DMT's monocrystalline plating on the ESEE-SHARP-M cuts faster per stroke and maintains a flatter surface longer than polycrystalline alternatives.

Does the ESEE-SHARP-M require oil or water to use? +

No. The DMT diamond face on the ESEE-SHARP-M is designed for dry use — no oil or water required. This makes it practical for field use where carrying sharpening lubricant is inconvenient or impractical.

What steels is the ESEE-SHARP-M designed to sharpen? +

The medium grit DMT diamond face handles high-carbon steels like ESEE's own 1095 as well as stainless production steels. Diamond abrasives work on any steel regardless of hardness — unlike ceramic or Arkansas stones that struggle on harder alloys. The leather strop reverse works on any steel after the diamond face establishes the edge.

What does the leather strop on the ESEE-SHARP-M do? +

The leather strop on the reverse face realigns micro-burrs left by the diamond abrasive and polishes the newly formed edge apex to a sharper, more refined finish. Stropping after sharpening is what separates a functional edge from a refined cutting edge — the diamond establishes the geometry, the strop refines the finish.
