The second question is best tools to use to sharpen a knife, very green at this and after a couple of attempts I think I made the Wife kitchen knives blunter rather than sharper. So back to You Tube.

Cheers Everyone

Buy a good magnifying glass to check your sharpening....I use a wet sandstone grinding wheel to remove the shoulders of the knife and finish it off with oil stone....I carry a skinning knife and a boning knife in my bag, the knife on my belt is for everything else....those two knives in my bag probably weigh less than the turd in my bowels that I have been carrying around looking for a nice place to drop it.
