Knives & Other Weapons Most people that carry concealed also carry a knife or other weapon as a backup. Finding a good blade is often harder than finding a good pistol or revolver.

Heck, I just couldn't get the edge decent with the Spyderco system. I kept going to town, but was getting no where! I just did not have the patience to hone that shoulder down on the blade! I eventually sold it to Brownie, above.

I recently picked up "Gerber Compact Ceramic Pocket Sharpener" for $4 at a local gun show. Has a course side and a fine stone side. No set up of angles/stones/safety rods, take out of my pocket and sharpen the blade! Talk about idiot proof and simple!!!

Razor sharp blade is back!!!! Best 4 bucks I've spent in a long while. Go get one yourself and pick out something else you want on your gift list.

Check it out;

I didn't pick any of your choices. I like using stones. I just bought the Smith's Tri-Hone sharpening system. I like it a lot.

My system is to use both the lansky and spyderco. First, the lansky is used to set the angle, that is, take off a lot of material fast and at an angle more acute than the spyderco. Then with just a few strokes of the spyderco gets the edge breathtakingly sharp. Everybody I've ever sharpened knives for has been amazed at how sharp I can get their knives.

I use the Lansky Deluxe Diamond System because it makes maintaining a consistent and repeatable edge very easy.
I "finish" with a few light strokes on a leather strop impregnated with finest red jewelers rouge for a polished, long lasting, "hair popping" edge.
It works great for me so I've never really considered anything else.

I use the Spyderco on my Henckel kitchen knives, does a very good job. I do need to get something to put a primary edge on a couple of them as the kids have a habit of putting them in the dishwasher where they get banged around.
