Seriously, you sharpen them then hock and gut or leg 17+ goats or dress and break down a deer or two, then you sharpen it again. It's not feckin rocket science, some of you way over-think a non-existant problem. Get out there and use the knife and get a bit of experience on how to sharpen it in the field. Who carries a Lanskey sharpener in the field with them ffs. Sorry, just come back from an overnight hunt and had a few beers, had to get this of my chest.
That overreaction must be the beers? [emoji3]No one’s suggesting to carry a lansky in the field, but everyone I know sharpen their knives before they head out.. though it’s the sensible thing to do rather than trying to get an edge with fence wire or whatever.. enjoy your beers [emoji3]
