I just use the my old Arkansas Stone that I've had since Dad gave it to
me with my first sheath knife when I was about twelve. Work with the
angle. You'll get it, and when you do, you'll appreciate the finely
honed edge you can achieve. Arkansas Stones come from Arkansas and are
from Genuine Novaculite, a naturally occuring stone in SE Arkansass.

Hey gang I was just wondering who is using what to sharpen their
knives. Personally I suck at using a wet stone, I have a hard time
holding the knife at the correct angle. I need to do some serious work
to my buck fixed blade knife, it has a couple small nicks in it.
Anyone using a particular sharpening system that you swear by?
Any help is much appreciated. And this is very much fly fishing
related as on that occasion when you do keep a fish you need a sharp
knife to take care of things.
Thanks
Jim
