Which method do you use to sharpen your blades, why and pros & cons?????

Ken Onion Work Sharp, sanding belt sharpener. Goof proof can't miss. Kitchen knives 20 degrees, hunting/pocket knives 25 degrees.

Crock sticks. Use them on my broadheads too.

Start out with the Work Sharp and finish on the Crock sticks to put on a smooth, keen edge.

I can my field dressing with an Outdoor Edge replacement blade and a small T handle bone saw for sternum and pelvic bone.

Lansky system. Makes the job easy

I have tried em all, crock sticks, whetstones, sharpening steel, work sharp, wart hog lansky system.......ad infinitum ad nauseum. These days I mostly use a replacement blade outdoor edge or havalon piranta. but for my edc pocket knife, I use a diamond hone.

Cheap carborundum stone. Gives a great edge if you know how to sharpen a knife. Been doing it for 40 years.

used various grades of stones for years, now mostly porcelain rods unless I need to really work something into shape

1" belt sander with belts from 100-2000 grit for the initial edge geometry. Rods after that. There's been a lot of knife tips ruined by a work sharp FYI.

Diamond stone if necessary & sticks

Diamond wet stone and a steel. It’s not rocket science to sharpen a knife.
