Keeping the edge on a knife

[elfiii]

My son gave me this one. It's pricey but it gets the job done. 3 or 4 strokes for each side of your blade and you can cut Hades half in two.

I used to have that one. Works pretty good.

Work sharp does make a handy field guide sharpening system. I take it on out of town trips

That one goes with me anytime I'm hunting, fishing or camping.

I guess I'm weird, I usually just use a small whetstone or diamond sharpener and strop it on some leather. Hair-popping sharp in a minute or two. I have a Worksharp belt deal, but I mainly use it for mass sharpening of kitchen knives.

Mine doesn't know anything about sharpening knives or why you don't leave them soaking underwater in the sink overnight. In her world knives never go dull and get sharpened by magic. The "magic" would be me.

I never put the kitchen knives in the dishwasher either.

Same here. At least she observes that proscription as well but it's still fun sticking your hands down in dirty, soapy dishwater and wondering if you're grabbing the hilt or the blade.

That would be a divorcible offense here.

I use a work sharp on the kitchen block and to bring a neglected knife back to shape. Ceramic sticks are my go to for sharpening a keen edge.
