[@jilliansala139]

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher.

If you find two flat river rocks you can rub them together (in an irregular pattern) to flatten them both out perfectly smooth. You can even do it with the back sides of the stones as well, then you will have two sharpening stones with two workable sides that sit flush and don't rock.

When I sharpen my knives I always finish by strapping them on 1000 grit or higher sand paper on a sanding block. This gives an insanely sharp edge and also gives it a mirror polish which helps to keep your edge from rusting. Great tips. Will keep them in mind. I have used the river rock method tho.

A really busted and rolled edge can be fairly straightened by using the side of one's hand as a strop. Also, the leather soles or uppers from one's boots can be improvised as strops as well.

for the river rock, find two flat ones and put some sand in between them and rub the flat sides together and they will surface each other and make then perfect flat. You can also use cinder blocks to make your own sharpening stones. They will surface any rock perfectly flat

I found the sharpening information very helpful. My trick is to use a plastic garbage bag for a rain kilt. I have been doing it for years. With gaiters on it keeps your legs dry. It provides more ventilation than rain pants and is easy to put on and off. Simply cut a slit along the bottom of a large black plastic garbage bag and pull it on and use the ties like a belt or tuck it under your backpack hip belt and it is done. Plus it weighs a fraction of what rain pants weigh and can be used a number of ways as a pack cover, sit pad, ground cloth, or to wrap up dry clothing in.

Great video, however I would like to mention that whenever using a strop regardless of its composition one should always roll the blade over its back, never over the cutting edge as this will prevent from cutting into the strop and prevent any possibility of rolling the cutting edge of the blade.

I use an emery board block these have usually 4 or 6 different grits and are oblong, these are best used for finishing after sharpening as the grits are really fine (for buffing the good lady's nails to a shine) they are also very inexpensive generally about a £ or 2 and they weigh about 5 grams tops, get a few from any chemists and pop them in your bag/tin/box or whatever it is you use for your sharpening kit.

[@robsmith8304]

Anything with Pumas works for polishing too. Tooth Polish, hand cleaner, anything that you can feel a bit of light grind too. In an emergency you can even use coffee grounds on a piece of wood if you have too. It's not perfect but it will work.

[@th3devil278]

Thanks, really helpful. I'm taking a wilderness survival class in high school and noticed those who have knives are encouraged to bring them. Especially when we go camping, which we do often. I do have a knife, but I haven't used it in 7 years, so it's really dull and rusty, I needed to restore it at home while the shops were closed and I had no idea what I could use, or if I even had anything that would suffice. Great advice, I'll be at my top knife game next class, that's for sure!

[@Spacesqurreil95]

One tip is to take two rock and get them wet, and then grind them at each other. You will get a smudgy rock substance. put this on a flat surface. For an example a stick cut in half. And work it as usual.

[@nuttiBONG]

+Spacesqurreil95 How about just using the rocks themselfs when they are flattened against each other, does that work?

[@Spacesqurreil95]

yes thats works even better. But it takes alot of work to get them flat!

I Lost a v sharpener and improvised one with a pair of scissors by barely opening the blades and drawing the blade of the knife through the v of the scissors, worked great

This is the best video with instructions I have seen. All its methods work, however, one needs a little practice. Honing on a leather strap does produce very fine edge.
