Overview
Built for use with the Ken Onion Blade Grinding Attachment in Mk.1 and Mk.2 configurations, this cloth belt kit is aimed at controlled sharpening rather than aggressive stock removal. It is described as suitable for high-strength steels and for producing a convex edge with minimal heating and material takeoff. That makes it a practical choice for hunters and outdoorsmen who want a more deliberate sharpening setup in the shop or while working from a compact field kit. At 0.5 oz, it adds very little bulk to a gear bag, though it is intended specifically for the compatible Work Sharp attachment system.

Considerations & Trade-offs

- The kit is intended for a controlled sharpening process, which may be less suited to users looking for a more aggressive material-removal setup.
- It is described as ideal for high-strength steels, so its best use case is more specialized than a general-purpose sharpening accessory.
- At 0.5 oz, it is easy to carry, but it is still an accessory kit rather than a complete sharpening system.
