The low-profile design is comfortable to wear underneath a backpack hip belt under heavy loads, and comes with our Iron Grip, No-Slip Guarantee.

Our patent pending design integrates three unique sharpening materials into the belt, including 1) a 6" vegetable tanned leather strop; 2) a tungsten carbide sharpening bar; and 3) an 800 grit diamond plate along the back of the belt.

Trimming Belt to Size

I got my first belt when the first came out and have worn it pretty much every single day: guiding out in the field, out on the town, and at church. I had to get more of them!
Caleb thank you for taking the time to write this review. I also find the belt to veristile and fashionable to the point I literally wear it everyday. Hope you have a great 2025!
My wife gave me this belt for my birthday and I was a little doubtful at first. The idea of a knife sharpener integrated into a belt (with a strop etc) as well as what looked like a fidgety (or gimmicky) belt tightening mechanism gave me some real doubts. I am an explorer by trade and carry a large bowie knife on my belt that I use on a daily basis in the field. In addition, I travel a lot (300k plus miles a year on airplanes), and generally want a belt that looks good, is very lightweight, can serve the purpose of being a general dress belt and a bush belt. That is a lot to ask for in a belt. My doubts though were soon alleviated. This might be the best belt I have ever owned. Yes, the knife sharpener works - and it works well. it adds and edge and is a great tool for sharpening up a blade, even a large one like mine, after use in the field. The belt is very adjustable and once you get used to the unusual tightening system (I found stripping the belt tight through, then tucking it under the loops the best way to get a tight fit the best), it works like magic, adjustable to the difference between jeans and cargo pants. Another big advantage, which I hadn't expected, was the leather strip is perfectly positioned to meet where I wear my sheath on the outside, which protects the belt nylon from my larger knife sheath. I wear the belt as I travel as its so light and I love the buckle is thin enough to slide through my left hand loops so I can get the hanging leather sheath on and off easily. My new favorite belt - highly recommended for serious users of knives and useful belts on expeditions. Oh, and its easy to clean
Hey Lee, thanks for the amazing review. Those sound like some astonishing adventures! The bowie knife image is awsome. Hope your adventures continue to be awesome going into 2025.
Bought as a Christmas gift for my best friend and hunting / fishing partner; my brother. I have not even opened it. All your gear is solid. I trust this belt is no different. Hollah. Jay in GA.
Have worn the belt hunting for a few weeks now. Fits very well and profile is extremely slim. Will be putting it to a more extensive test soon on my Montana Mule Deer hunt. Haven’t had the opportunity to use the sharpening feather yet but couldn’t recommend the belt more to anyone needing a belt for hunting.
Really cool. Throwing in a sharpener into a belt. Once again very high quality. Cool logo.
