I have two knives I use daily. One is a neck knife, used constantly that has a grind on the blade that has a pretty high angle on it, I assume to make it last during heavy cutting work. The other is a D2 steel Ontario Knife RatII. They work and are tools. I am addicted to the neck knife and can't find another to have as a backup.
For instance, yesterday I got caught in a situation where I had to cut holes in the ribs on a 12" plastic pipe so it would sink and the Rat handled it easily, but now needs touching up.
So, I am the world's worse at sharpening a knife, but need a way to keep them both sharp. I am thinking I want a Lansky sharpening system as I would be terrible free hand. I have a work sharp, but it can ruin a knife in the blink of an eye if you are not careful. I am terrible with a steel and often roll the edge over.
What do you guys think I should do, or buy?
