Knife Sharpening
 

I'm sure you guys can agree that having a sharp knife in the field is very helpful. I'm curious; what do you guys use to keep your hunting knives razor sharp?

Do you use a sharpener that has given you great results? If so, which one do you recommend?

Thanks!

LANSKY......away from home....I use one of thesehttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/index/index-display.jsp?id=cat20897&navAction=jump&nav Count=1&cmCat=MainCatcat602009&parentType= category&parentId=cat602009 and LOVE it....I feel like it sharpens it more so than 'ripping it' til its sharp...can do it rough with one side and finer with the other. I love it.......next 'stay at home' sharpener I get will be some sort of diamond sharpener

This is the kit I have and almost impossible to screw up. It's got different angles that you can use to put on a good durable edge or a razor sharp edge on... I use it on every knife I own

Havalon Knife. Replace blade after each animal. Nothing is sharper.

I use the Gatco sharpening system. I have had it for about 6-7 years and it works great for my thicker bladed hunting knifes.

im old fashioned....i still use arkansas stones....but i havent found anyone that can get knives as sharp as i can and edges that last as long with any other method...

I use the Smith Diamond shapener on dull knives but I still love a nice Arkansas wet stone. There may be easier ways to do it but there is something special about a wet stone. It's an art

Belt sander. Like a stone butdoes all the work at about a 1000 strokes per minute It's a polished razor when it's done in about 30 seconds.
