If you are at one with the wilderness, a hiker, hunter or camper, you know one of the most important tools in your arsenal is a colossally good knife. It can be used for so many things from chopping wood, gutting fish, to creating tinder for your nightly fire.
Many survivalists have a good knife but few really know how to clean and sharpen them. Certainly, you can take your knife to a professional and have him do it for you – but why when it’s so easy to sharpen it on your own?
There are a lot of techniques to consider, but it's hard to know where to start. Luckily once you get the hang of it sharpening your knife should become easy and you'll know exactly what to do.
After the break go on over to the next page and check out some easy knife sharpening methods that you probably wish you had learned about and tried sooner!

dont worry, you are missing nothing.
Seriously ? It would take a hell of a long time to do this without a coarse stone and it would be pointless. Yes a convex grind is generaly stronger than others, but it suffers for finer work and is actualy the hardest to learn. A flat bevel is the easiest to maintain by far. I prefer a Scandi as im always needing to make faether sticks.
