i bought a Remington knife with a gut hook on it from gander mountain and it will not even cut the hair on my arm.

I went to walmart today they had a nice Gerber with a rubber handle

looked just like the rem. knife

but it was razor sharp and cost 3 dollars more then the rem. which was 20 bucks

should i just try and sharpen the rem. knife it seems like the bevel is small and you can hardly see it or just hand out another 20.00 and buy the Gerber

if i should sharpen the rem. what is the best way to sharpen a knife cheaply i have done it before but have never been to good at it

usually just buy a hand sharpener that has a grip and you just run the knife down it and two little white bars sharpen it. But i do not wont to mess the knife up or make it any duller
