A small leather strop loaded wtih Bark River's black and green compound works the best for me. It's great for use in less precise environments, becasue the leather 'gives' a little bit and is more forgiving of an imperfect angle.
A loaded strop can get a good knife back to razor sharp very quickly and easily.
I am hunter and since 3 days I receive my new Nyala, a nice and strong knife from CRK.
I use the spyderco tri-angle sharpmaker at home, a very good tool, but :
What is the best tool resharpening in the field far away ?
Best regards.
This is what I've been using for a long time in the field and it works well on all my hunting knives with VG-10, 1095, up to to Fallkniven's 3G.

A good idea.
Just take one of the Medium Rods from your Sharpmaker with you and use that. :thumbup:
Use it like a steel, rod straight up and down and angle the knife making light passes, should only take maybe two passes each side to bring the edge back to screaming sharp.

I use the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup, Waffle House, Dennys, friends house, whatever, then strop on Levis, Works for me!
