You know the moment
A diamond rod in your pack? Then you hold the angle yourself: with numb fingers, in half-light, after field dressing. With the Basic, the device sets it.
01In the field
Field dressing properly only works with a sharp blade. And that is exactly when no tool is within reach.
02At the water
A blunt blade tears instead of cutting. When filleting you see it immediately.
03At camp
Wood, line, provisions: outdoors the blade does almost everything. And that is exactly where it goes blunt.
That's why the sharpener belongs in your pack. How it works

How it works
The device sets the angle, from 11 to 21°. You need no stone, no water and no practice.
Unfold it and take it in your hand. No setting up, no accessories needed.
Three to five pulls with light pressure. The device sets the angle, and sharpening and honing happen at the same time.
Fold it up, back in your pocket. Until next time.
Why the Basic

Folded down to 19 mm flat and 80 grams light.

No. Three to five pulls with light pressure, and the device sets the angle. Sharpening and honing happen at the same time.
In our reel “Even the axe” we sharpen an axe with the VG2 stand unit. For the cabin and the workbench, a VG2 is therefore the right companion to the Basic.
Before use, three to five pulls with light pressure are usually enough. Better little and often than rarely and with force.
Then you send it back within 14 days. You pay the return shipping; if it arrives defective, we cover it.
80 grams between you and a blunt blade.
