Guided Field Sharpener
After successfully bringing the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener to market in 2010, Darex has since been actively listening to their customers and has created a new sharpener that best meets the field sharpening needs of sportsmen and heavy knife users - The Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener 2.2.1. This quality tool is made by Darex LLC in Ashland, Ore.; the same people who brought you the Drill Doctor brand of drill bit sharpeners.
New guided field sharpener from the growing line Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpeners.
Legendary knife maker, Ken Onion said of the Guided Field Sharpener, " I am impressed with the clever details like the magnetic plate holders, angle guides, round ceramics and strop, all in a small easy to carry package. It is by far the best manual, portable sharpener I have ever used."
"The Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener ($34.95) comes with two diamond plates (coarse and fine), two ceramic rods (coarse, fine and fish hook groove) and even a leather strop," says Kyle Crawford, Work Sharp product manager. "This tool delivers professional sharpening results with no skill required at a very competitive price."
All Work Sharp products are designed, engineered and assembled in Ashland, Ore. Visit www.worksharptools.com for more information.

At the foundation of the new M&P C.O.R.E. resides a specialized mounting platform on the slide of the pistol that can be conveniently changed to match the desired optic. Through the use of removable brackets, consumers are able to simply install the corresponding mounting screws to achieve the precise fit and height required. Designed to work in conjunction with the Trijicon RMR, C-More STS, Leupold DeltaPoint, Docter, Insight MRDS and JPoint, the M&P C.O.R.E. offers quick and custom sight installation for the industry’s top aftermarket red-dot sight manufacturers.

Engineered as a true competition platform, each model will retain original design features including a polymer frame with a through-hardened stainless steel slide and barrel, ambidextrous operating controls, striker fire action and Melonite finish. For improved handling the M&P C.O.R.E. models feature a new textured interchangeable back strap with prominent stippling.
