A few weeks ago I was looking through the comments that you guys had posted and one of them in particular caught my eye:

Brad Buckner- handysharpener.com

Hey Joe since you are into survival stuff you need to check out my site. This is the best survival tool on the planet. From sharpening to striking flint and Mag. to start a fire. Take care, Brad

Now I personally go through and approve each and every comment that comes across survivallife.com and normally I would have passed this one by.

But something in this short comment stuck with me and I decided to check out the site.

If there is one thing I can’t stand it is a dull knife. I actually keep a whet stone in my night stand and sharpen my EDC knife every couple of nights.

I have woken up the misses a few times to the sound of steel on stone…. Sometimes I don’t have the best judgement.

Well after I checked out his product I decided to give his product a try.

I contacted him via email and after a few back and forth mails we ended up on the phone and spent the next half hour talking about knives.

He shipped one of his handy sharpeners out to me and a few days later every one of my knives was razor sharp.

This thing is deceptively simple and effective, but don’t just take my word for it, check out Brads in depth tutorial videos below:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Brad has made a total of 6 videos showing off how the handy sharpener does much more than sharpen pocket knives.

I have to say after having one of these on my key ring I think I am going to finally retire my old whet stone.

I can say from first hand experience that these things work!

Anyone who carries a knife on a daily basis knows that a dull blade is a dangerous blade.

Check these things out and see for yourself how quick and efficient they are.

In one of our email chains, brad had this to say: “I have been doing sportsman’s shows, home and garden shows, boat shows, fishing expos, game and fish expos, gun shows, flea markets, farmers markets, world AG expo, and many more venues for 5 years.

I KNOW SHARPENING! And sharpeners and knives. I sharpen about 100 knives a day an average of 4 days a week.

My regular handy Sharp I use at the shows gets touched about 100,000 times to a blade every work day. I touch about 90 times a minute when sharpening. That’s 1,000,000 touches per 10 working days. Going on 3 years now. 48 weeks a year. Think you will wear it out??”

In fact, Brad is so sure about his product that he offers a lifetime, 100 percent satisfaction guarantee or your money back. If broken, he will send you a new one, and he will even pay the shipping.

P.S. If you need a little more convincing, check out this little gem that I dug up from youtube.

This guy actually shaves his FACE with a knife he sharpens on the Handy Sharpener.

P.P.S- If you order one of these priceless tools, be sure to mention survivallife.com in the comments section of your order. Brad said that since he is an active member of the survival life community he wants to take a little extra care of any other members. If you mention survivallife.com he has promised to add in a little extra bonus to your order. BUT you have to do it when you order!

and make sure that you only order from http://www.handysharpener.com/
