Cool guide very useful, Is it the same method for axes? I've just bought a Gransfors axe which is beautiful and came razor sharp.

Similar, yes, but obviously the angle will differ.
Take a look at an expert doing it.

KME KNife sharpener, everyone can have a razor sharp knife. I have one and it works perfectly for every knife.

Thats a post for everyone.I used to sharpen my survival knife,not on its own mini stone.But on a large flat looking pebble from whatever Loch I was on.This worked ok (Though not perfect it kept us going).Jim.(Night Owl).

Cheers for all the info guys, got my oil stone and will be spending a few hours sharpening my knives, while not trying to loose a finger or two. Might even get the kitchen knives done as well (get some extra brownie points from the lady of the house).

Would this sharpenin work on a Gerber multi tool knife?

It'll work on any normal 'straight' blade.
Practice is the key.
