At what angle is the edge of the Heavy Ordinance Fusion Steel Heart ground at, and what is the best sharpening sytem to use? I'm thinking about getting a table top system for home, but I also would like recommendations about what to carry with the knife in the field. I'm a blade sharpening idiot, so any and all advice is much appreciated!
 
I would imagine crock sticks would work in the field. Someone with more experience will be along soon.:thumbup:
 
There are several threads on sharpening various blades. Do an advanced search on forum titles for SHARPENING and Sharpen. You should get several hits. They may not define a specific angle but there is some good info regardless.

I sharpen my HOFSH LE on some Arkansas stones, I do not know the exact angle. I gave my knife a normal V edge and it is wicked hair popping sharp - I would not have it any other way with any knife.

In the field I use ceramic rods from Spiderco. They do not take up much space in the back pack. I also use brass EZ-lap diamond sharpener if I do not bring the backpack.

Cheers,

André
