Not trying to hi jack the thread but what sharpeners do you guys use as well? And How many knives do you suggest having?

Sharpener
Diamond flat plate for roughing out nicks in the blade and a simple 3/8 inch dia 4 inch long smooth slipstone for honing.

Two Blades.
Kukri
Graded sharpening gives you two blades in 1,(it's not just for chopping wood).

3" nothing exciting lock knife non serrated blade for ease of sharpening.
Don't you just hate it when a UK legal clasp knife folds onto your fingers?

Not knives but sharps
6 stanley blades, and a disposable sterile scalpel in my first aid kit.
