So I had decided, no more knives...but then I saw this on the auction site and I was smitten, it is a Western brand from just up the road in Boulder, Colorado...a Trapper pattern...I got it for cheap, and when it arrived I noticed the pile side scale was lifting and going its own way...little cleaning and a little epoxy and its gooder than new. It is a big knife, 4 3/4 inches closed...But man o man does it feel good in the hand. OK no more knives...for a while...I am gonna try to sell some maybe...you know the ones that I am not smitten with...

So what method do you old farts use to sharpen said pocket knives? Or any knife for that matter?

I use the Lansky system for pocket knives and smaller fixed blades. Bigger blades I do manually on a stone.Biff wrote: 03 Dec 2024, 08:42 So what method do you old farts use to sharpen said pocket knives? Or any knife for that matter?

I'm just the opposite. I'll get out the Lansky for fixed blade knives maybe once or twice a year. It's not an enjoyable process for me so I put it off as long as possible. I have a few Chinese diamond honing plates I use for pocket knives and quick touch ups in the kitchen. Use them over the sink with a trickle of water running.

This is a really, really good system! Expensive but worth every penny (I am not affiliated, just a happy customer)
