Rolling Diamond Knife Sharpener – 15° & 20° Camping Knife Sharpening Kit

The 400 grit surface uses industrial diamond abrasive with an approximate particle size of 46μm, providing an efficient cutting surface capable of working with knife steels across a variety of hardness levels.

Once the edge has been established, move to the 1000 grit diamond disc.

This finer surface is designed to hone and refine the results achieved with the 400 grit disc. A small number of controlled passes can help produce a smoother, more refined cutting edge.

The process is straightforward:

STEP 1 – 400 GRIT: Restore and sharpen the edge.

STEP 2 – 1000 GRIT: Hone and refine the finish.

No water is required during sharpening, making the system particularly convenient when you’re camping or travelling remotely.

Choose Between 15° & 20° Sharpening Angles

Different knives are manufactured with different edge geometries, so maintaining the correct sharpening angle is important.

The Dunn & Watson system provides 15° and 20° sharpening positions, allowing you to choose the option that most closely matches your knife’s existing factory bevel.

A knife originally manufactured with a 15° edge should generally be sharpened using the 15° guide, while a knife with a 20° edge should use the 20° guide.

A difference of a few degrees may be workable, but attempting to sharpen a knife at a significantly different angle effectively means reshaping the existing edge. For example, putting a knife with an existing 20° bevel onto the 15° setting can require considerably more work before the abrasive reaches the cutting edge.

For the best results, identify your knife manufacturer’s recommended sharpening angle and select the closest corresponding setting.

Keep One in the 4WD

The compact design makes this sharpening kit particularly useful for 4WD touring and camping.

It doesn’t require power, complicated equipment or water during sharpening, so it can easily stay packed with your cooking gear ready for the next trip.

Store it in your:

• 4WD canopy
• Camp kitchen
• Touring drawer system
• Caravan
• Camper trailer
• Fishing gear
• Boat
• Home kitchen

For longer touring trips, it means you can maintain your knives as you travel rather than starting the trip sharp and finishing it weeks later struggling through dinner with a blunt blade.

From the Bush to the Beach

Camping food doesn’t have to mean basic food.

If you’re carrying decent knives in your touring setup, keeping them sharp makes everything from cutting steaks and preparing a barbecue to chopping vegetables and filleting fish easier.

For anglers, it’s particularly useful when a fillet knife starts losing its edge halfway through a trip. A quick sharpen at camp means you’re ready for the next catch without waiting until you get home.

Diamond Disc Care

Diamond grinding discs are wear components and will gradually deteriorate through repeated sharpening. If a disc becomes excessively worn or its sharpening performance noticeably reduces, it should be replaced following the instructions provided with the sharpener.

The unit should not be cleaned by washing it directly with water. Instead, wipe the sharpener and its components using a damp cloth when cleaning is required.

Compact, simple and useful both at home and on the road, the Dunn & Watson Rolling Diamond Knife Sharpener deserves a permanent spot alongside your other 4WD cooking and camping gear.

Because a blunt knife has no place in a good camp kitchen.
