This diamond rod sharpener is one of the most versatile tools around. The diamond rod features a groove for easily sharpening fish hooks. However, it is not just useful for fishhooks. Unlike other rods, this one is well sized so it can be used to sharpen small knives or other bladed garden tools. The diamond sharpener slides back into the knurled handle for easy storage. Available in black aluminum or brass finish. Made in the USA.

While I keep one in my tackle box for sharpening fish hooks, I also find myself reaching for this when the other tools in my garage need a quick touch up. I have owned smaller, cheaper versions of this tool in the past, but I have found the imitations just do not measure up to this well-made tool.
