My questions are:

- Im on a budget so I only want to get one system if I can for now. What would be the one do it all system you would reccomend( profiing, sharpening and touching up) my goal is a convex edge as this seems to be the best all around favorite.


-What knife would you recomend for practice? Again something g really cheap but at least decent enough to want to keep after I'm done should it come out ok.

- Lastly how would one Maintain a convex edge on and extended backpacking trip. It would need to be something small and light to carry around ( possibly fit in sheath pocket).
