A good dual grit whet stone. Use it under running water, it'll put a scalpel edge on good steel in just a few strokes.

I have the Edge Pro and really like it. You can get a knife to a level of sharp that most people dont know exists. However if I were doing it over I probably would go with the Wicked Edge, its design looks easier and faster to use.

I used a friend's Wicked Edge last year and was very impressed. Much easier to get a great edge than using a Lansky.

I too plan on getting the Wicked Edge in the near future. I just like how the knife gets clamped down vs. how the Edge Pro works. Prolly helps to eliminate any human error. Edge Pro will handle really large blades though...which isn't a concern for me.

Steve. I do, it works great. +1. That extension cord/generator can get heavy though.

Seriously, a little DMT folding "whetrock" in blue(220 IIRC) and a small steel will keep a good knife sharp indefinetely. If you find yourself without a steel to remove the wire edge from the arris, a smooth stone from a stream will serve that role nicely. Don't call it a "river rock" though, the MT mafia will make you a figure of ridicule, not that that means anything:)

With a price of 500 bucks, my Lansky looks mighty fine. And I don't know how my knife would be any sharper.
Just say'n
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
