Sharpening a pocketknife
Q. When and how should I sharpen my pocketknives?

A. How often you sharpen your pocketknife depends mostly on how often you use it. Basically when the blade feels dull to the touch or if it starts to feel awkward cutting with your knife, it’s time to do a little sharpening.

well ill try this on my 30 knifes and re post on how good it works, if i have time to repost. on the farm knifes can get really dull so i might carry a sharpening stone with me……. that would be a good idea if you have to sharpen a knife on the farm or any were else.
i have millions of knives and sharpening stones.the rogher the blade the rougher the sharpening stone (A.K.A a whetstone)
thanks
I will try that THANKS!
you will not need to sharpen a more expensive knife as much Swiss army is a good brand they sell good ones as cheap as ten dollars
I will try it!
That is a good way to sharpen a knife, what if Ido not have a sharpener?
I usually use a kitchen sharpener
After you finish sharpening a knife place it blade down on your fingernail and gently try to move it back and forth, if it doesn’t move close it up and stow it.
Porcelain can give you a fine edge.
Cool

good tip i will try it on all 3 of my knives
i was wondering this myself. thanks
Nice video on knife and axe sharpening. I’ve recommended it to all of my new Scouts.
