Edge Maintenance Tool

The challenge of maintaining a sharp edge on your everyday carry has been eliminated. Work Sharp and Benchmade recognized the need for a small, lightweight, and compact tool that provided easy maintenance while on-the-go. The Edge Maintenance Tool was designed with the everyday carry enthusiast in mind. Anthony Awaken, the trusted outdoor gear junkie and review expert, highlighted the benefits of using the Edge Maintenance Tool as a way to upkeep your knife edge.

Pros:

It is really easy to carry.
It will maintain an edge very well if you use it after your daily knife chores.
It's well built and lightweight.
It's made by a great company who knows how to make great knife sharpeners.
It looks great paired with the Benchmade 940-2

Cons:

Really, my only con about this system is the price. I would like to see it closer to the price of the Field Sharpener.
