The ARS Retractable 3 Sided Diamond Hone is a specialized maintenance tool designed to restore the factory-sharp performance of your essential cutting equipment. Featuring a unique three-sided geometry and a rugged retractable mechanism, this sharpener provides the versatility to hone a wide variety of blade profiles, ensuring your tools are always ready for surgical-grade performance in the field or at home.

Best For The professional arborist, nurseryman, or dedicated home gardener seeking a portable, high-speed sharpening solution to efficiently reshape and restore the edges of secateurs, loppers, and garden knives.

Key Features

• Versatile 3-Sided Geometry: The specialized three-sided design allows for unmatched precision on different blade shapes, making it easy to sharpen flat knives, curved secateur blades, and tight branch junctions that standard flat stones cannot reach.

• Coarse #360 Industrial Diamond Grit: Engineered for fast material removal, the #360 grit surface quickly eliminates nicks and reshapes dull edges, restoring the heavy-duty cutting efficiency required for thick woody stems and high-volume work.

• Safe Retractable Mechanism: The diamond blade slides securely into the handle for maximum portability and safety, protecting the abrasive surface from damage while ensuring the tool won't snag or cut through your pocket or tool belt.

• Dry Sharpening Convenience: Unlike traditional whetstones, this diamond hone requires no messy oil or water lubricants, allowing for immediate, on-the-spot maintenance whenever your tools begin to lose their edge during a busy harvest or pruning day.

• Durable Ergonomic Construction: Fitted with a robust, high-visibility red handle that provides a secure and comfortable grip, ensuring you maintain total control over the sharpening angle for a consistent, professional finish every time.
