What makes this a "tactical" sharpening stone? Or is it tacticool because of the bit of paracord they've attached?

SitwonIt's tactical because: when you're on a secret mission to save the world and pull out your knife for a stealth kill on a guard, you'll want it to be sharp. So while you're hiding in the bushes next to the villian's henchmen, silently (tactically even) sharpening your knife imagining what you're going to do to him as soon as you're done.

Why is everything these days have to be fucking tactical. So sick of it. Just ridiculous and overused to hawk useless stuff to morons. BECAUSE IT'S TACTICAL THAT'S WHY!!! Well sign me UP! I wonder if it's the paracord that makes it tactical. So glad to see a lot of other people on this discussion so disgusted with why everything on Massdrop has to be TACTICAL. Knock it off Massdrop, it's irritating and insults the intelligence of anyone over 10.
Now on the the product. I only use Arkansas stones on all of my knives. I have three 10" stones and since Arkansas stones are natural and not man made there isn't a grit per se for them. It's more of a rough, medium and hard/smooth designation. If you are trying to sharpen a dull knife it is going to take FOREVER on a hard/smooth Black Arkansas stone. Theses stones are the last step after you have replaced your dull edge with the other two stones. If you know what you are doing you can get surgical sharp knives with a Black Arkansas but it shouldn't be your starting point. If you already have a decent edge then yeah I suppose it it's an alright deal. Being originally from Hot Springs, Arkansas myself where quarries are close to, I just went to the source and and got my three 10" stones for around $150 if I remember right. Hall's and Dan's are the two biggest that produce their stones in house. Hall's are a little more affordable especially if they are having a sale and for my money are working fine.

I have an extension in Chrome that turns ever instance of "millennials" to read as "snake people." So there's that.

I can't wait to add this to my tactical collection. It will look great next to my tactical toothpick, tactical nail clippers, tactical pizza slicer and tactical meat cleaver (BTW - these are all actual 'tactical' products, and no I do not own or plan to own any of them)

herewegoinvtOMG I love you!!!! If I can't get more tactics in my life because I use tactics and need tactical gear I am going to lose it! I'm on the verge of losing my shit ON A DAILY BASIS because everything is TACTICAL these days. Because everyday life in 2017 DEMANDS the use of TACTICS, because I'm TACTICAL MOFOS!! I'm checking everyday for a tactical computer mouse because of the amount of time I spend at my computer daily I NEED IT!! THE MOST OVERUSED WORD CURRENTLY IN USE TODAY!

AmslerEvery elite soldier needs a tactical sharpener to quickly sharpen their knives in the heat of combat with lead flying other their heads.
C'mon, everyone knows this.

Not a single picture next to an item of known size. Yes, I see the dimensions under "Specs", that is irrelevant to my point. If I'm more of a visual person, or wanted a quick guestimate, or ruler illiterate a simple picture (one would suffice) next to an everyday item of standard size is the way. Pictures of these things right next to each other just lets me know 'big' is bigger than 'small', but not as big as 'biggest'.

TomaCzarThis is a huge problem with all the EDC items sold on Massdrop. Flashlights, knives, tactical pill bottles, everything sold as EDC or of small size or portability should be shown next to something for scale. A quarter, an unsharp pencil...just about anything would be useful.

Please excuse my ignorance.
Why spend more money on this over the Fallkniven DC-4?

I think everything that needs to be said about the "tactical" title has been said lol
Now can we address the fact that it's asinine to put a lanyard through a stone, essentially guaranteeing you'll never use that end of the stone and will wear unevenly over time?
Or the fact that having a stone that also requires you to carry oil with you is, at the very least, awkward. EDC in your pocket, really?
I don't know, I don't use oil stones, but is that not eventually going to soak through the leather and into your pants

KavikI have a translucent arkansas pocket stone that I occasionally carry. Water works ok for it when I don't have oil, though its obviously not ideal. As far as the oil soaking through the leather, the leather definitely absorbs it(it's definitely darker than when I received it), but I haven't had any trouble with it transferring to clothing. Perhaps its just a matter of time.
You're absolutely right about the lanyard hole.

mrpcakesIn your case I'd just recommend learning how to strop, you can maintain a real good egde like that for months, years even. Depending on how good you are, of course.
