Anything on the market that actually works and fits easily in a pocket? I normally carry a small fine swibo steel, but it doesn't fit in my pocket?
 
a well sharpened quality knife will not need sharpening, while in the field, not tryin to be funny but if your angles are right, you should be able to gralloch several deer at least.
 
I think you're right Taff , had a gerber and snapped a bit of the blade out! Got a black fox good for reds but a little on the large side for anything else. An old style buck which has good steel but a gut hook on it. Any suggestions on something around 4/5"" blade that is quality around the £100/150 mark?
 
Get yourself a Mora knife, cheap and hold edge and a Lansky sharpener.
That way if you loose them out stalking you have lost £22 not a small fortune.
 
Or one of the Bushwear ones in bright orange, at a fiver. Just about impossible to mislay, even in deep heather. Have a search on Amazon for a diamond steel, some reasonable ones around for a tenner. Sorted on both counts......and if you lose either, it hasn't broken the bank :-D

I picked up a miniture steel at the gwct game fair a few years back im sure the stand was called D L TROTH does a lot of good knives and sharpening steels . Its always in my pocket and handy after breaking feet or briskets.....scott
 
Not if you have a knife worth more than a £10, taking a razor strip off a blade will give you a sharp edge but will not last.
 
Not a fan of those bladetech things, they are great for ruining a good knife but not much else. As had already been said get a Mora with a nice bright handle and a Lansky kit, job done.
 
I would only suggest using pull through sharpeners like the Lansky or Bushwear on cheap blades many a good blade has been ruined by these sharpeners that is if they will do anything to a good hard blade.
 
Cheers Taff and all, I've never liked those pull through things either. I was a butcher for 8 years so only ever used a steel. Just wondered if there was some new gizmo on the market that actually worked. I'll stick to getting a quality blade (thanks again Taff) and wetstone and steel I think .
 
Hi I used to use a Bladetec but found my knives did not hold a good edge, I purchased a Chefs Choice electric Sharpener it has three sets of rotating disks,
At first i was not impressed but after using it for i while i realised that i needed to let the sharpener change the angle of the blade. now i have used it a few times my knives have never been so sharp and when they do get dull i give them a couple of swipes and they are razor sharp again, The sharpened cost about £165 not cheap, but life is too short to spend time using an oilstone.
