blackbird Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 As above any recommendations on a good knife sharpner ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I use a sharpening block with 4 different grades, (Aldi around £10.00), once I have a reasonable edge I finish on a fine oilstone by hand. Razor sharp edge on my Opinel and Mora. Hope that helps, ATB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inderraj Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I have been using the Lansky Diamond Sharpening Set for many years now, and it has never given me any issues, its very simple and easy to use for a beginner and as you get better at it, it keeps up to speed with you. It lasts forever, comes with everything you need (including honing oil) I have used it on everything from moras right down to Damascus blades.

jeffjjack Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I use a Japanese combination water stone. 1000/6000. The majority of my field knives are sharpened to a Scandinavian grind i.e. one bevel to the edge so I stay away from the "run though" field sharpening tools. These seem ok for pocket knives if the knife is getting heavy use in the field. I am impressed with the ceramic Gerber Pocket Sharpener that I bought for the kitchen... it has a course and fine side and works well to hone a dull blade. Works well with my SAK and could be easily carried in the pocket when out and about Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartward Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I find the "AnySharp Global World's Best Knife Sharpener (Classic)" from Amazon really good, and only £10.04 with free delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
