Survival knife sharpener
#1
Anyone have any suggestions for knife sharpening or any links to some good knife sharpeners? I have the Accusharpe sharpener but it is really designed for kitchen knifes and difficult to sharpen a survival knife with it to a fine sharpness.

I use a carborundum stone-an oval one meant for scythes- cracked into 2 or 3 smaller pieces with a hammer!!Big Grin
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

In a survival situation, any stone would serve, to put an edge on a blade.

In Bob's own words;

On a hunt many years ago, any knife would have been welcome. You see I'd forgotten to pack a knife with my hunting gear. When I arrived at the ranch where the hunt was to occur, the hour was late and the nearest town 40 miles away. Knifeless, alone and left with no alternative, I rummaged through every cupboard and drawer in the tiny cabin looking for some type of edged tool. Finally I discovered a paring knife of dubious age and construction.

Of course the knife was dull and the edge was chipped, but a little whetstone work would fix that. Unfortunately my whetstone was at home with my knife. However there was a concrete step outside of the cabin. With a splash of soapy water for lubricant, the right sharpening angle and a serious expenditure of effort, I was able to produce an almost adequate edge on that little knife...Before the hunt was over, I used that knife to field-dress and skin a bull elk


Bob's hand made knifes sell for up to a quarter of a million dollarsCool

So If he says it can be done on a concrete step in an emergency, I for one will not argue Wink
