Jim & Gang,
I'll admit - I cheat - I use a Lansky (
http://www.lansky.com/products/systems.html ) System to sharpen my
blades. I don't have to worry about angle - system clamps onto the
blade and then you put the guide in the angle you wish. The basic
set of hones (stones) will get you a sharp enough edge to take hair
off of your arm.

PS - Did you get my Steelhead Swap fly's yet? What's the progress on the swap?

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
