Sharpening "in the field" is sometimes alot closer than what you think it is

so a couple weeks back I wrecked an edge and brought it back on a handy rock. a couple days later I watched a youtuber dismiss the whole idea of sharpening in the field and I thought id give a couple of thoughts on the idea that sharpening in the field is not always what you might think it is. caltoncutlery.com

Hi Joe, as I told you in the past (either here in the comment section or by email), I really like your practical, hands on approach to sharpening weither in the field or in the workshop. Thanks a lot for sharing info and experience.

Very good and informative video. Beautiful folder. I'm new to your channel and didn't know you made folders. Great looking piece of work. Very good information on field sharpening. Good knowledge to have in a pinch. Have a great day!

thank you for the kind words! yes I make kitchen knives, outdoor knives, hunters, small game knives, hard use knives, choppers, slipjoints, straight razors, and the occasional lockback and linerlock, oh, and slingshots :}

Thai people are great! Thanks for the lesson. I pack stock into wilderness and this will definitely come in handy!

I carried the scagel I got from you all week. Very slicey. Just got a GEC #56 dog leg jack. So I sharpened that up today and it will be in my pocket for the next week.

I end up sharpening out and about all the time, in the back yard, at the storage building, out fishing with the kids etc etc. Edge falls off and out comes the double stuff 2. A minute and I'm back to a hair popping edge/micro bevel. Out camping for a week with the kids and same thing, I want to keep a great to use edge. A lot of the time the knife isn't unusable dull but I want great edges just because I like it and it's fun to me.

During my childhood, we had a joke that whenever we saw a blue bettle, you could give a good punch on the arm of your friend, because they were quite common. I miss those days.

Magnacut is not that hard to sharpen Larens idea was to make a steel that had good balance between edge holding toughness and stain resistance. Think AEBL with better edge holding.

i am pretty excited to play with it! i quenched a couple test coupons at 50 degree intervals, broke them to see the grain. picked the one I liked best and made 2 small test blades to start finding the temper I like, but have not gotten to them yet. maybe this weekend or next week!
