This is the worst thing you can do to a knife. Get a knife with good steel, learn to sharpen it and it will actually stay sharp. An accusharp and it’s kind will ruin a knife and create a fragile edge that won’t last long.

I will not disagree with you there, but when I am doing a moose in the bush by myself I do not want to mess around and as soon as it dulls in the slightest, 3 swipes it gets and back to work I go in seconds.

When the knife is toast, I simply buy a new one, because I can afford it :o)

If you can afford it, buy a good knife and a good sharpener.

Using a knife properly helps as well. I took this moose to this state alone with only a Havalon Piranha and a couple of blades.

Great job, looks like you did that handy work the gutless method.
