I decided a while ago to invest in a high quality fixed blade. I was using the replaceable blade models, but didn't feel good about throwing away blades and they were so sharp, they felt dangerous. I'm much happy with the fixed blade, feel like I can put much more torque into the tool and work. Because of this, I invested in a Work Sharp Field Sharpener. Despite being a gram weiny - this is 170g, and relatively compact. But, it gives me a simple guided sharpening process "on the hoof" coarse diamond + fine diamond + ceramic + leather finish. Been brilliant for in field and at home (for those that have "those" that like cutting cake on plates). It's basically taught me angles and the process through repetition. Can't recommend it enough, along with an investment in quality knife steel + and regular sharpening. I got mine through some "dealer" on Trademe locally.
