At just 7.5cm long this high quality stainless steel sharpening steel if the perfect companion to a pen knife and can easily be carried in a backpack etc.

Sharpening steels do remove material from the blade edge so can be used to sharpen a dull blade.  I prefer using them to maintain the edge.  So a couple of strokes on the steel if I've been using the knife for a long period of time or can feel any burrs on the edge.  For more serious sharpening I'll switch to a wetstone.
