    @The bomb the little diamond paddles work pretty sweet. Can strop to straighten the edge or actually sharpen with them whereas a steel will only strop it won't bring back a dulled edge, only a rolled one

    @The bomb https://store.nzfarmsource.co.nz/cat...arpener/206944 $20, readily available and weigh nothing. No brainer, I thought.

    Old thread but interesting to see some anti-Svord comments from Brads etc. I think it’s bollocks personally, I love my General Purpose. I carry a Dianova lapstone in the sheath (perfect fit, won’t fall out) and just give the knife a wee wipe between animals, it just does the bizzo all day long. I don’t care about the tarnishing of the carbon steel, I just clean it and oil it at the end of a trip and put it back in my bag.

    Gotta agree with you mate, my old peasant did the buisness like a surgeon scalpel the other day and a quick touch up when I got home was all it needed after gutting and quatering a red deer.

    Yeah to be fair though svord has had a few issues with ht over the years so it is definately possible to get a lemon.

    L6 is a good staple carbon steel that will take a killer edge but comparative to more complex steels is relatively soft. With good technique it should do an animal no problems though.

    Nothing tells a story like good carbon steel though
