    I do the same as you but without the 4x2. Lansky stone kit followed by two light strokes on each side with a very fine butcher steel. I sharpen until the entire blade area will grip firmly on a...

    I took two Mercators with me to the UK, but never had any issues. Like you it never occurred to me that it could be a problem, I'm just used to having one around as a utility knife. Will often have...
