Just wondering how everyone does it?
On the hill and also back at home
Lansky, Edge Pro, steel, little Lansky/Gerber type handheld pull-thru type thing?
Or do you just use the good ole fashioned stone?
Further to that, any tips

Stone at home to sharpen and steel in the bush to straighten the edge if it needs it.
Started with an edge pro .. which was and is awesome .. but now I have the ultimate ... Scary sharp ... its the business ....
in the field I have a stone in my ute and carry a steel ...
Stone and strop at home with wet n dry if you want to go crazy. Small steel in the field. Buy a good knife with he good steel and limit the time spent messing with the thing in the first place.
I fucking suck at sharpening knives so I just pay someone else to do it. I have nice ones so don't want to ruin them.
I am in the same boat as you proudkiwi I suck at sharpening but slowly getting better at it, would probably help if I had a bigger stone (small buck diamond stone is what I am using) and knives that can actually hold an edge the knife I currently have is a buffalo river drop point. Who uses those lansky sharpening stone kits are they any good.
No I have an Edge Pro which I find quite good. But then I can't beat the ease of my small lansky sharpener that I use in the field. I have heard great things about the scary sharp and am trying to stop myself from getting one as buying a house is probably more important
$12 stone from bunnings at home, nothing in the bush. Knife has a great leather sheath. Found it absolutely brilliant, really enjoy looking after my kit.
Sharpening the knife and cleaning the rifle are a great way to relax and debrief [emoji5]️

Thats interesting, I was looking to upgrade my scary sharp and try the Wicked Edge sharpener. I think the Tormek would be the ultimate if budgetary constraints didn't apply.
Personally I've always had better results from the constant angle systems than trying to sharpen free hand.
Stone and steels at home, just take the knife hunting.
Have no need of a knife that can't deal to an animal without needing a touch up.

I scour the place for anything and everything that even resembles a knife. Chuck them in a box, put box in car, Drive to VC's stopping on the way for a box of beer, Leave knives and beer at his house, Pick up knives later.
I totally suck at sharpening knives but Cam doesn't
I use Japanese water stones at home & have a small buck diamond steel that lives in my daypack, it's good for sharpening my mates knives. :thumbsup:
