Are there any swingblade users out there that have a good method for sharpening the gutting blade.
I have cleaned about 6 deer with it an its starting to get dull.

Thanks for your help.

Been watching this thread hoping someone would respond. I dont have a swingblade but have been thinking about getting one. How do you like yours?

Thank you.

Round file like a chainsaw file will work.

I like mine a lot; the gutting blade works great.
It holds an edge well.
Everybody in my hunting party borrows mine when we get deer.
We have cleaned about 12 deer with it and the edge is still good.
I am going to sharpen it up tonight. The rut is on and gun season is only a coupe of weeks away.

Cool thanks for the input. Hopefully i can get one and try it out this season!

I've got a swing blade and LOVE it! Little rascal cuts like a lazer. What I do, is after each use, wash it real good and clean up the edge with a ceramic rod. Do it every time and it's always ready to go. Much easier to maintain the edge than to start over after it's really dull. Probably because they're a hard stainless steel.
