Edge Retention and Knife Sharpening

Now Days anyone can learn to sharpen a knife

I used to waste hours trying to sharpen a knife, only to end up tired and frustrated and my knife was no sharper than it was before. That's because it's hard to a knife's cutting edge with the naked eye. And yesterday's sharpening systems were very hard to use compared to what's available today. 

This Field Sharpener from Work Sharp changed everything. I bought mine 8 years ago, use it for all my field sharpening, and it still works as well as it did when I bought it. This is the last sharpener you will ever need to buy. It has everything you need to get a razor sharp edge on almost any knife. (Reverse curve blades and serrated blades may also require a rod shaped sharpener.)
