Sharpen A Knife In The Field To A Razor Edge

Brother - Check out the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener - Less chance of getting cut...Abe Azar

You sharpen the same way I do... very cool. People tell me all the time that I am sharpening wrong. If I can shave is it the wrong way... lol... Muhalo my friend.

Say Heah Gabe, Thanx. ,, .

Great stuff man!! A sharpe knife is a happy knife!!

Good tips, I like that stone a lot; seems high quality compared to other pocket sized stones. When I am sharpening using a small stone like that I prefer to hold the blade steady and move the stone, but this is really just personal preference, it really doesn't matter with smaller knives but i think moving the stone makes sharpening a big blade (like a machete) with a small stone much easier.

Good video...

if you haven't seen it, check out a video on "adventure time outdoors" channel that he put up in the last few days. He made a little sharpening block for a dc4 and strop.

Nice Video Man! Yes, i have learn something, thanks for this.
I have both Sharpening Stones. The DC4 and the CC4. I prefer the CC4.
And with the small piece of leather is an good idea. i also will carry some now.
So keep up with your Videos!

is this stone durable and hard wearing?

I use the circle method like that on thick bevels, but thinner blades I'll sweep the stone. Really depends what is more natural. Good video!

Wow seems like a lot of us learned the same technique. I learned it at my Grandad's side in the late 60's. Has worked for me for over 46 years now from deserts to mountains to the Alaskan 'wilds'. Thanks for sharing with us and please keep up the good work. 'Stay safe keep warm have fun & whittle to keep your sanity'.
ol greybeard dino

Good points on sharping in the field.

still haven't perfected the circle method of sharpening my knives but I still get them hair popping sharp. so guess that all that matters lol. thanks for the tips. they should help alot.

Great vid sir. Now I know how to strop a knife the correct way !

thanks for the tip I'm to sharpen blades and thats a nice kit

That's a great tip Bro I'm learning to sharpen blades I'm going to try that out

Hi Gabe,
I also have DC 4 and sharpen my knives almost the same way you do! In the end your knife should be sharp without having ruined and scratched the blade, am I right?! There isn't the Golden Way, only your personal best way!
Have a good time,

Do you actually put a large angle micro bevel on purpose?

Say Heah Gabie, Aloha. Thanx You, I do like using my A-1 and H=1 especially in wet conditions. A top shelf combo. The H-1 is very similar to my Skookum Bush Tool. A little thicker but a very good slicer. But I also can use my DC4 on my new S. O. G. Pillar, Again, Mahalo, Gabie.,,.p

Awesome video! Liked and subscribed

Love my DC4, really handy stone

Some folks talk about the DC4 diamond side wearing quickly and the fine side loading up with material. I have been reluctant to get one but the concept is very good.

Thanks for the excellent video!

Aloha
