Sharpening Knives in the Field

[mtnbound]

Eventually might snag the Worksharp field sharpener but I thought it might work to just take like 800 grit sandpaper instead to save some weight. Is this a dumb idea? Was also considering just bringing one of my diamond plates.

I have good luck with this DMT Dia-Folder Sharpener, with extra extra fine grit, I also use the fine file on my Leatherman and carry a small piece of a ceramic sharpening rod.

I have a cheap gerber fixed blade ised for 20 years and carry a rada wheel sharpener that gets it really sharp. It becomes dull after one or two deer and I just sharpen it again. I know there are better knives and better sharpeners but it’s quick and easy and it works. Carry a havalon for skinning also if needed.

@feanor has done a bunch for me; the reblade of the bugout is a unique thing though.

My Grohman Number 1 fixed blade’s sheath has a slot in it for a small sharpening rod. Works great if you know how to touch up an edge with a rod. I usually also carry a Tyto with replaceable blades.

Yeah I like that reblade on the bugout too.

What have your magnacut ones come back for Rockwell?

He was great to work with.

I have a KOA alpha wolf with D2. I can work through an elk with a minor touch up in a ceramic rod.

These came back at 62 HRC. I only have one blank left though. This batch is for family.

@Beendare didn't you get a cruwear Spyderco fixed blade recently?
