A bowhunting related question. After you have gutted your kill, what do you use to re-sharpen you gutting kinife with? A stone? Files? New gizzmos? I tried that criss-crossing hand held circular file thing from Cabelas and it was crap! I do not own a stone and would need to learn. But what works best? What is easiest with great results? or what is hard work with great results? thanks

a stone works best in IMHO.... go to buckknives.com and get the directions for sharpening... They are the most easily understood directions I have seen yet. Also, when you buy a stone, a lil piece of plastic comes with it to help you keep your angle... throw it away! It's useless.

Sharp

If you're working on your field kill and need to re-sharpen I use a diamond stick. It's quick and light weight and a few strokes and you're good to go again. At home after hunting I use a file, hone and then strop. Follow the link. We talked about this a few weeks ago. Good info...

Check out www.razoredgesystems.com. It's the only thing I trust my hunting knife and broadheads with. Makes everything scarey, hair shaving sharp.

Knife sharpener

This is the easiest and the best way I have found to get my knives extremely sharp. It comes with a video to show you exactlly how to put a quality edge on your knives. It also does hooks, kitchen knives, machettes, axes etc.

Crock Sticks. I've been using them for two decades now and can't imagine anything being easier.

i also use the little case brand sharpener in the field it is quick and easy to use.

all you need is an accusharp. It works awesome on your standard bladed knife. No more need for stones or anything it sharpens them in 5 seconds razor edge. They blow the yellow Smith's hand sharpener out of the water. These are the ultimate. Nothing compares!

I would suggest you bye 2 stones

1-diamond

1-soft arkansas

Teach yourself to use these properly,then you will be able to sharpen any knife or broadhead you own.It will one more thing you have in your bag of tricks

Accusharp

Another raving endorsement for the accusharp. It is super fast and easy - the best choice for the novice knife/broadhead sharpener.

While working I use the carbide sharpeners, but when I have time I use the Lansky. It takes time, but it puts an unbelievable edge on a knife.

My vote is Lansky--Same as mike

 

[Hendrick]

I also use the Spyderco Sharpmaker. It is the best sharpener I have used besides the Edgepro Apex (but that unit is very expensive). The Spyderco will put a razor edge back on a knife in a few minutes and with little sharpening skill.

Lansky is the way to go.

CHEF's Choice model 120

Does my hunting and kitchen knives lickity split. Not worth a hoot on serrated edges, but I could read the instructions.

 

[Snood Slapper]

I use the Redi-Edge sharpeners.

 

[BingoFlyer]

I use a Lansky Sharpener. Fast and easy with razor sharp edge! I also use this sharpener for my replacable broadhead blades.

 

[alotadeer]

I use a Lansky sharpener. I don't resharpen after every deer tho. Shouldn't have to becaus you shouldn't be cutting any bone gutting a deer.

Razor Sharp Systems. Takes about 20 seconds.

$3 Allen hand sharpener from Wally world

Looks like the Accusharp but MUCH cheaper.
