benjy_26 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hello all. Looking through some of the threads y'all post, I've noticed that a lot of you guys are outdoors a lot. Do you guys have preffered camping knives or edged tools that you carry? If so, how do you sharpen them and keep them sharp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 May not be what you're looking for, but I EDC a Leatherman Charge. I almost never need to sharpen it but I use one of these. Probably not the best way but it does work pretty well and it's very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 That's cool! I'm sort of a knife nut, so all comments are welcome. I have been looking for a multi tool for a while as well. How do you like your Charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Love it. It's a little bit on the heavy side for a carry tool but I manage fine. I don't think I've gone a day without using it for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Nice. My current EDC is an Ontario RAT1 folder. In the field, I carry that, a Morakniv classic and an Opinel in my bag, and an old Carbon V Cold Steel Trailmaster on my belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Very nice :thumbsup: I don't have very many knives but I do have a couple Morakniv Companions. Very nice and cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks. :) Moras are VERY underrated. Gotta love a world-class knife that goes for under 2 Jacksons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have a leatherman juice s2 that is practically glued to my hip :thumbsup: (if I have a belt on, it's there). for camping I have an old Gerber Gator, and if I'm doing a task, a 1st gen super leatherman. a stone kit keeps the pointy things extra pointy. :D http://www.amazon.com/Lansky-Professional-Sharpening-System-Serrated/dp/B001KN3OKO/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1462984930&sr=1-7&keywords=knife+sharpening+kit I have a plethora of other blades, but those are my hands-down favorites. (although I am a bit envious of the new big leathermans) edit: almost forgot about my Cold Steel kukri machete. it was a gift I got and never really thought I'd use it... that is, until my family moved down south. it's a great way to keep the georgia brush and vines in check :yes: http://www.coldsteel.com/Product/97MKM/MAGNUM_KUKRI_MACHETE.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Good deal! I've been using a Lansky Blade Medic pocket sharpener, but it doesn't give a really fine edge. I'll have to look into that system, Pete. BTW, have you looked into the Khukuris from Khukuri House? Holy smokes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Most of my stuff is Spyderco. I use a diamond stone for plain edge knives but have never sharpened the SpyderEdge (serrated) ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyderco makes great stuff. I've been eyeing their Matriarch for a while now. It just looks wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
