What would you take?

revolution13 · Jul 22, 2009

You're heading into the bush, for an undetermined length of time. You're taking a few blades, and it's a must that you take some sharpening equipment. In this case, you can only choose TWO items. What would they be?
I'm a newbie, but with what i know so far, i guess i'd take
1) DMT Dia-Sharp 8-Course 2) Shapton GlassStone Waterstone 1000

Your Turn...
P.S. Please dont move this thread...it is "knife related eqquipment"

I'd take a small two sided stone. Probably one with a coarse and fine side. And that's all.

There's no sense in taking a Sharpmaker or an EdgePro or something that needs oils and water and all kinds of other stuff. Something small that'll fit in a pocket or a pouch on the sheath is all you'd need. Especially since you can't leave whenever you want and go home to sharpen the knife.

I'd get an Eze-Lap Model L set and a belt. Everything else is unnecessary.

Piece of leather and some compound.

Well, I'd probably just take a fallkniven DC3, and.....I don't really need anything else to sharpen a knife.
If the knife have had a proper sharpening first, that is.

Ditto....well not a mouse pad. A piece of foam pad from a craft store with one side covered with 400 grit,the other 1000 grit is stashed in my daypack.

Any good med grit stone would do for me. Never let it get fully dull and you won't need more, and the toothy edge from a med stone is what I would want in that situation for sure.
