Very good technique. I'm impressed. I've been sharpening knives for almost 62 years. I've got Norton's, Arkansas stone's. There's nothing like taking a piece of steel and making it razor sharp. Awesome hobby to get into. Great video

Yep, good job brother. Been sharpening blades of all kinds for more years than I care to mention. Tried all kinds of ways to sharpen but always fall back on water stones and stopping, best way I know and much more satisfying in the end. With all the newfangled devices and machines on the market, some of which will do a good job, this is still my favorite way. Thanks for the video, well done. Stay safe out there.

Thank you for sharing your technique. I carry a pocket sharpening stone as well (Arkansas medium grit) and a more coarse stone for my hatchet. To polish my blade I use a jade stone (about the same size as my pocket sharpening stone). Usually my knife becomes less sharp when processing small game but it holds up pretty good on my trips with camp chores and such. Hatchet is a different story, ha, ha! Even so, good to know how to utilize your resources in the field. Your kindness in sharing your knowledge is very much appreciated. Best wishes from the PNW.

Like you , I once carried 2 or 3 different items in my sharpening kit in order to sharpen blades in the backcountry. However, I found that all I need is the Fallkniven DC4 sharpening block. It comes in a leather pouch that doubles as a leather strop inside of a hard plastic bag. It's well worth the investment. For my axe bits I only carry an old Fiskars Puck.

One thing to consider when sharpening only in the middle of the stone to avoid your fingers, you are wearing a curve into it. You can dress your stone, or you could make a little wooden "vice" or handle for it. Just get a nice stick and cut a slot in it, slightly shallower than the thickness of the stone. One edge square and one slightly angled, so you can press it in from the side and it will be held in place.

I've been sharpening my own knives for many years. I've used so many different tools to do this, but I've only ever been able to get a nice edge, not a razors edge. I think the reason is because my knives have a very short edge, not a scandi edge like you are showing us. With the short edge, you really need to maintain the correct angle, and that's difficult when you do it by hand. I'm really surprised to see you use a swirling motion to sharpen your knives. I've always only seen people go in one direction, either against the edge or with it, if you know what I mean. I actually like your method. I will keep this in mind next time I need to sharpen my blades.

Thats how they taught me in the Boy Scouts a long time ago.There are a lot different techniques obtaining a bur. Yes a strap gets that razor edge.The key is keeping the 15 or 20 degree angle on the stone.I usually start out with course and go to fine then a hard Arkansas stone.So you don't have to spend a lot time getting a good edge.

Very nice video, well instructed. My trips to the outdoors are usually short, so I sharpen my knives at home. Some day I’ll get a small sharpening stone for trips. That’s the scandi grind, right? Like for a Swiss Army Knife this exact technique wouldn’t work. You just have to kinda know the angle if the edge is tiny.

You're in the field. Get yourself a 6" carborundum stone. Two sided. You can use it on your hatchet too. Stropping is for razors. Your little stone is for fish hooks. You do fish, right?
