To be honest I do not have anything to sharpen with. I am so glad you created this thread so I can learn of a good one.View attachment 20. Let's see some pic's
Thanks for the info.Here are a few options. 1) ceramic rods ( my favorite ) . 2) Smith and Wesson ( oval one ) is nice because it has a diamond rod for serrated knives. 3) The Gerber (square one) and the smith and Wesson are around 10.00 bucks. Great for the (GHB) get home bag.View attachment 22
I use the Lansky deluxe sharpening kit it comes in a handy hard box, it is a little steep at$50 but is realy worth the money spent. What i found helpful is that the company does sharpening stones for just about any knife and just about any body can use it and not trash the blade.Thanks for the info.
I do need to get one as I have some seriously dull knives

Thanks for the info. I don't mind paying $50.00 if the quality is there. I figure I would spend less in the long run for buying more quality items. Not that there isn't some expensive stuff that is actually junk, i.e. Brookstone and Sharper Image.I use the Lansky deluxe sharpening kit it comes in a handy hard box, it is a little steep at$50 but is realy worth the money spent.

I am with you on the serrated, hate them.And BTW serrated edges are not very good for sharpening. In fact they're useless. Probably the worst idea anyone ever came up with. It's a great gimmick for the Knife companies reshaping knives no one can sharpen.
In a SHTF scenario serrated edges will quickly become useless as they get to dull to cut anything and there are no machine shops to sharpen them. I suppose you can sharpen them if you come up with specially shaped hones. What a pain, no thanks.
Roll with it, post it . I am inmight be a good idea to actually have a knife sharpening post,,, like "teach the others little tricks you've learned" . like one of my little tricks ( i picked up from some bikers back when i drove a cab) was to roll down the window, and use the top of the glass.
