Greyman 30,247 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I,ve put this up somewhere else regarding knife sharpening and this is what I use most of the time had it years and it's still doing the biz if I want to go absolutely paper slicing mental I do it on my belt sander, nice thing about the blade tech it just goes round your neck on a lanyard so you can have a few rubs over your blade if your doing your field dressing or skinning out and about trouble is as I get older I have so many great gadgets to hang round my neck I can't move to catch anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If not you can buy diamond stones for the set to regrind the edges. It keeps my folding knives razor sharp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I use the lansky system these days as using an oil stone took me too long to get a suitable edge. It locks the blade at a few different angles, depending on type of knife, purpose, etc and uses a guide so it is basically idiot proof. It gets the blades shaving sharp, which is good but I have seen some people get a much better edge hand sharpening. I believe a good stone makes a big difference. Some stones are ridiculously expensive. Edited to add the lansky system's sharpening surface is synthetic oil stones with different grades of grit.

Spot on! If you have a cheap field knife crack on with all your knive sharpeners but if you value your knife learn how to use the correct grade of stones and keep sharp with regular use of a steel.

Mister Gain 1,764 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I use a DMT diamond bench whetstone (red one/fine) if the knife has really lost it's edge, and use a good butchers steel to keep them sharp. Use the whetstone for all my chisels, plane blades etc. Had it about 15 years and it has done a lot of work but is almost worn out now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GOD knows ive tried Dido,cant get the hang of getting a real sharp edge,i get them reasonably ok but never 100%...the best result ive had was from rubbing the blades on the top of the car window lol..
