Jewel Stick.......Anybody use one?
« on: March 16, 2011, 08:16:00 AM »
Just wondering about the jewel stick advertised in 3Rivers spring flyer I just recieved and if any of you all use one?

Good, Bad, advice??

I'm kinda looking for something to put that finishing hone on my Snuffers and something small enough to carry with me in my box of "possibles" for when I'm hunting away from home to touch up a broadhead when I need to.

I've done quite well with just a small file so far and wondering if the jewel stick would benefit me any further than what I'm doing at the moment. Or if I'd just be wasting my money?

I use one that is very much like the one 3Rivers sells. I like it. It is compact and I keep it in my fanny pack while I am hunting. With a little patience and a light hand, it will put a very sharp edge on any three blade head.
It is a good buy.

I've been using a jewel stick followed by a butchers steel for all 3 blades for the last 7-8 yrs or so.

I have two or three stashed around, they work great and I finnish on a ceramic stick for a finer edge.

I am pretty impressed by the Jewel stick.   I have carried the 2 sided flip stick for about 8 or 9 years in my hunting pack.  

Its the perfect addition to my sharpening process.  I use it to put the finishing touches on my broadheads, two blades and three blades.   i carry the small flip stick in my day pack or quiver and i use the large 12 inch by 3/4 three sided stick for camp or home.  

I have become so impressed by the Three sided sticks, know as the 1-2-3 's, that i am going to pic up the line as distributor in the next 6 weeks.  

In a recent test on a knife I carry with 134 CM steel, three passes on each of the sides: coarse, medium and fine and the knife was shavin sharp.  

I have spent quite a bit of money in the last year searching for the "best" sharpening tools and techniques and the Jewel Sticks are an excellent addition.

Jack,

I have been dilly dallying about buying the 1-2-3.  When you know pricing, please pm me so I can buy from one of "us"

Not to derail this thread, but since the sharpening experts are probably looking at this...

I've been looking at Diamond stones lately.  The ones with all diamond on the surface rather than the ones with all the little plastic colored "holes" are better, yes?

Would jewel stick also work well on concave head like Simmons sharks/interceptor?  3 Rivers catalog says "especially effective" with Woodsman.  

Yep Semo, I'm looking at mine right now.   :D

Been using the 3 sided JewelStik for at least 10 years now on all my Snuffers.
