Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What’s your method of sharpening a hunting knife

The Lansky system fool-proof

Japanese Water Stones, and water. Far superior to the Arkansas variety. Strop isn't needed.

Posted up "sharpened" knives that look like they've been run through a garbage disposal.

JFC.

Your knife can't do this, you ain't in the game:

For years I used wet stones and Arkansas stones then moved up to a diamond hone. I was curious about the work sharp and got one with an assortment of different belt/grits. It’s become my go to sharpener, fast and easy. I have to be cautious using it with a coarse belt because it’ll remove a blade tip or thumb stud right now and in a hurry which I found out to my disappointment. I even used it to shape the rear of a 1911 extractor to match the contours of the rear of the slide.

Rada quick edge for game animals.

For fish cutting an industrial diamond block with 180 on one side and 400 on the other. Need a rougher edge for real fish.

Both take about a minute or two at the most.

this old man uses a diamond stone to 600 grit and strop on cardboard with rouge. its quick and easy.

I have many different kinds of knife sharpeners and the Work Sharp is my go to. Cutting net wrap and shark skin takes a toll on a knifes edge.

For many years I sharpened knives on my fathers old tool and die bench stones. Those blades were
factory carbon steel heat treated to some where in mid/upper 50s Rc so it was easy to get them
what I thought to be reasonably sharp. I bought 3 new large bench stones and was able to do a bit
better. I found that when I made blades of more modern steels and they were at a higher Rc I was
struggling to get to "scary sharp". Then Boise loaned me his Edge Pro. WOW. I soon ordered my own
and use it for all knives except for kitchen and filet knives that get sharpened on the Work Sharp.

I finish sharpening with 600 grit and then an impregnated leather strop. I carry a leather strop with me in
the field for touch up, but never need it.

Holding a consistent angle is very important and nearly impossible with hand held stones.
A consistent angle, rolling a burr and removing that burr are very important.

Sharp is relative to what YOU are happy with. Scary sharp is a game changer for me.

Old school--a stone before season and an EZ Lap for field touch up

This is awesome.

Having a'wifey' that does dishes?

Not until she finishes mowing the lawn.

I got myself one of these at work for all the scissors I use cutting composite fabrics. I am quite pleased with the outcome and my 400-600 grit wet sandpaper on a chunk of glass also works well and have not tried it on any of my knives yet!

Same for me, touch the edge up with a steel as it needs it. Resharpen a few times a year depending on use.
Keeps them razor sharp all year long

FUQK YO, SUCKER50!

Humans have been putting edges on tools by hand since pre-history, so its literally so easy that a caveman can do it. I guess some have always been better at it than others because I believe there was once an Indian chief named "Dull Knife".
