Woods Boy Mongrel Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 369 Kansas	Quote There are many ways to do this. Personally, I use a hand sander with various grits of wet/dry sandpaper to re-profile the edge to convex (personal choice - I like convex edges) and then I strop the edge on leather with black and then green compound. After it's sharp I really only have to maintain the edge with the strop. It very rarely needs sharpening unless the edge rolls. I have had very good results with both SR77 and Infi. I guess a belt sander would be quicker and less trouble, but that means you can screw up faster as well. Here's by Mutt and ASH: Gideon Where did you get the sander just a local home depo im guessing thats a great idea i think i will go pick one up. Thanks for the idea When was the last time you steped out in the woods?

About a 2"x5" section from a mouse pad and some sandpaper. Simple, light, and cheap. JYD #56 Scrap Yard Sword Club #00

That should cover the basics when out in the field. Somebody made a Altoids sandpaper/mousepad sharpening kit. I'll try and find pics, but it's basically a section of mousepad glued on top of the lid of an altoids tin, with the sandpaper inside. You wrap the sandpaper around the lid and close it and it holds the sandpaper down. JYD #56 Scrap Yard Sword Club #00
