A 'How to' guide to sharpening a knife the traditional way.

Best bet is to get a diamond sharpener made by dmt. £30ish, will get you the diafold, which is a double sided jobbie, will sharpen 10 times quicker than an oil stone, and cleaner to. couple of strokes on these , is enough to get razor results. and folds small enough to carry in your shooting jacket. blue is course , red is medium, and green is fine, have found the blue / red combo is best.

This sounds like a good solution for easy knife sharpening.

The edge may not last as long but if it's that quick to do then longevity isn't such an issue...

I’ve found the DMT diamond to be as good as anything at getting an edge, as described above it’s cleaner and gets a razor sharp edge.
