He sharpens freehand with various wet stones, followed up by stropping on a leather strope
His favorite hunting knife is one we got him for Christmas in the mid 1970's, I can't remember the name but it was a contract knife made by Schrade.
He retired his oldtimer folder a few years back and carried a Kershaw that my brother gave him.
He lost that knife before Christmas so I bought him a Ka-bar mini dozier for now
I want to get him a nice GEC or something similar for his birthday
He hates some of the larger folders I carry
