What are you gents carrying with you to touch up your trad heads in the field? I've got one of the Ace sharpeners, just wondering what everyone else is using.

I was planning on using my DMT pocket sharpener, it has always worked well on my knives.

Yeah, I too use one of the DMT "Mini Sharp" folding pocket stones in Red [600] or Green [1200] grit

or a triangle crock stick

Just bought an accusharp with a bunch of little options. Weighs 2oz and the ceramic rods did a decent job on a kitchen knife of mine.

If I'm backpacking in I usually just use the leather on the underside of my armguard to strop them periodically and keep a DMT folding sharpener in my vehicle.

If you are using Magnus broad heads the Redi edge carbon hand sharpener does a fantastic job. The angle on Magnus heads and the sharpener are identical.
