Default Best pocket knife sharpener

I have a couple lansky pocket sharpeners the online reviews say their great but, there's got to be better, anyone have any pocket sharpeners that work really well. The lanskys get my knives very sharp, I would prefer extremely sharp. I'm talking a pocket sharpener you would use in the field not spyderco sharp maker or wet stones. Thanks and have a nice day!

For a cheap sharpener that puts the finishing edge on a blade I prefer using the bottom of a fine china or ceramic tea cup. Providing the bottom isn't glazed a cup is just as good as any ceramic sharpener you can buy.

If you like that, try the finished edge on your truck side window. Blade has to be sharp to start, but I've found it to be an amazing finishing step. Sharpen (I use a diamond stone), steel, and if you want stupid sharp, truck window. I have actually shaved with my old uncle Henry touched up in this manner

Amazing the uses for a truck window. A great bi-pod and knife sharpener, whoda thunk?
