I only own two knifes. A Gerber Multi-tool and a Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement knife, and they both need sharpening. I got a sharpening stone from Harbor Freight, and oil, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. Looking at past threads, Diamond Whetstones seem to be recommended often, but they...

I'm considering buying a Spyderco Para 2 as my one blade to carry when I'm backpacking. (Currently carry a small tommy and an Opinel 8, want to lighten the load.) The Para 2 can definitely handle the tasks I have in mind, not worried there. But I don't know if 45VN steel can be sharpened in...

What would be a good sharpener for your kitchen knives and cutlery??

Has anyone used a real good wide wet stone or oil stone for sharpening knives? I have some hunting and boning knives that are going to need attention. Im not for sure about brands or coarseness. A drop on the floor and mine became several smaller ones. Had it most of my life and cant remember...

Here's a little something to help with sharpening...

Check out the system that lets you lay down exacting angles for your blade!

I started out with an old knife that was just lying out in the shop, and I decided that it needed to be repurposed.:D: I took masking tape and layed over the blade to get the outline, I don't really know what blade profile that I was going for, maybe like a drop point-spear point...

I was bored today so I picked up a mill bastard file, whipped out the Lanskey Puck and my Smith Pocket Pal and picked up everything in my attic that I could work with. I sharpened the blades on my $8. Harbor Freight Survival Knife, put a nice edge on my Ontario Military Sawback Machete...

I have a Gurkha Kukri knife (from Nepal) that is as sharp as butter. I don't want to just let anyone sharpen it because I don't want to foul up the blade. I've watched several videos on Youtube on how to sharpen it and I'm extremely skeptical about what I've seen. Does anyone here have the...

Just had a quick question: Since the Fallkniven S1 has a convex edge, is it absolutely necessary to use the mouse pad / sandpaper method and sharpen this way, or can you simply just use a normal stone? I purchased a Fallkniven DC4 sharpening stone and would much prefer to just sharpen it...

This is my field method of sharpening. Ive tried lots of different knife sharpening methods and ive heard folks say this way or that way is the correct way to sharpen a knife,well I'm not going to be so bold as to say my method is the correct way to sharpen but will say its my method and it...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a super heavy duty survival knife on the internet. Out of the box it came pretty dull. I have been TRYING to sharpen it first with my diamond sharpener then with my ceramic/carbide sharpener. It is very hard to sharpen and I can't seem to get an edge on it. I'm...
