I still use a Lanskey.
I also use an Arkansas soft stone occasionally

That thing looks like something from a doctor's office bolt

I have the wheels like the guys at the gun shows, recently did an impulse buy on a Ken Onion, and a lot of different stones.

These days I generally use my oldest 2 sided stone, then follow with a steel and finish with a strop.

I used the Ken Onion once and it's OK but won't do anything that I can't do with a stone.

I prefer high carbon blades more than stainless of any kind.


Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

I use my 2x72 grinder with a worn out 180 grit belt, followed by a leather strop.

Work sharp all the way. I've got better things to do with my time then spending hours with a stone.

those work sharps look nice but don't fit in a day pack very well

With a good steel that's been heat treated correctly you don't have to worry about sharpening in the field.

I can use any of my knives after the worksharp on at least 3 or more animals before I need to sharpen the blade.

I do like the one you posted for carrying in the field if you need it. up

Ditto


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Worksharp makes a handheld. Coarse, fine, ceramic, leather, all on one tool. And it does a fine job!
