Cheap & Simple Ways to Sharpen Outdoor Knives

- There are lots of ways to sharpen a knife, but ultimately it's just keeping a consistent angle and motion on two sides of a blade to bring it to a fine point. I'll show you how I sharpen and hone my camping, fillet and pocket knifes to shaving sharp.

The two most important survival tools in the woods are a pocket knife and a sharpening stone. If you ever get really lost deep in the wilderness and feel like you'll never be found, simply stop, take out the knife and start sharpening it. Within 15 to 20 seconds, some know-it-all will appear out of nowhere to tell you you're sharpening it wrong.
😂🤣
You had me going at the start lol
😂
😂😂😂
one of your videos came up in my recommended. it was a video 4 years ago about you waking up after brains surgery, you deserve a W
As a knife guy of many years, and also a hunter and fisher, I must say that your presentation on this was spot on for who I believe the majority of your subscribers are, Justin. I always give my Scandi Grind Knives a convex edge... keeps that scandi grind strong. Spot on. Great job!!!
Top 10 everyday knots would be cool to see
I can’t get enough of your knife videos! Iv watched some of them 4 or 5 times. Please make more!
Love this video I always over thing sharping my knife
I have had my Benchmade knife for like 8 years and it is by far my favorite knife I have ever owned
"Very clean hair popping sharpness" LFG is the GOAT! My dudes KILLZ the Googan Lab videos. Loving it brother! I was excited when I saw this one. I have a good amount of decent knives, no really expensive blades, but I've always loved to sharpen knives, so the ones I do have, stay sharp. This really helps. Great tips!🤘
Grew up watching all my uncle's and my Papa cleaning fish with the old J.Martinni-Finnish fillet knife from Walmart still have a few in the drawer today, their actually collector's nowadays! Seem for crazy high prices on the internet and eBay.
This was great. I suck at sharpening
Hey I'm the fan that met you in the Dallas airport 😁😉
And thanks for being so nice and letting me get a pic with you
More often than not the guard of a honing steel lines you up with the where abouts of the angle you want to sharpen your knife to. Great video; keep the content coming. Love your tactical Tuesday’s as well!
Thank you for the information
I remember watching my dad when I was young sharpen knives and then hitting the leather . He was impressive sharpening knives.
Hey Justin, if your driving out and about and need to hone your knife, roll your window half way down and hone your knife on the frosted edge of the glass it works great .
Excellent video
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥 episode Brother 👊🏼😎🤙🏼!! Love the Technical Tuesdays, keep em coming Sir Rackley
Thank you
Love this content...
Lake fork and knife guy lol I had to say it 👍🏼🇺🇸🙏 awesome video my friend, stay dry and safe 🤙🏻
Couldn't agree more about the victorinox blades. Cheap, easy to sharpen, and if it gets messed up or lost, your out like $4. These are the knives we learned to use in guide school for these purposes.
Love the vid rackLey
Some great tips!
I use an Edgo Pro Apex sharpening system with stones to 2,000 grit. I can drop a tomato on my chefs knife and it will fall in half.
Can't go wrong with wet stones either. I've slowly built up my collection to include everyone from 1000grit to 30000grit. Who knew blade sharpening could become so obsessive and cathartic.
Nicely done as usual brother, great info.
How about comparing brands of sharpeners.
Example : I have a Lanski but I've never really been that good with it.
Also have the knife killer 1" belt sander with different grits even the leather belt with polishing compound.
I'm not great at it but it has worked for me.
12:20 Had me so worried you were gonna chop the little guy off!! So happy we all dodged that!
Why am I now nervous when I see you doing a knife tutorial 🙈
Feels like we have been on a similar path Justin even though I am ‘across the pond’.
Have always loved collecting knives. I went through the ‘how do I keep them sharp’ process. From wet stones to oil stones, ceramic to steel and all in between with a lot of different blade types (Skandi is my favourite). I love them all and the process that it has taken me through. As you say some very in-depth vids on YT have helped along the way with angles and ‘feel’.
Today, my ‘go to’ is my Spyderco 3 angle sharpener for on the go and in the field - just works. Always bring along my hand held strop loaded with some smooth compound. I also use it for my hand forged kitchen knives and my prize possession which is a Mr Itou custom made Damascus kitchen knife with a turquoise handle. I even went on a course here in the UK in forging a knife, lot of fun but wow, hard work but give it a try if you get the opportunity.
Still have all my stones and gear but I guess it’s a bit like cooking - don’t over complicate it, just keep it simple
LFG!
I recommend the Sharpie method for beginners. Get a black Sharpie and color the bevel, or very edge of the blade. Gently draw the blade across the sharpener and look at where the Sharpie color is being removed. If it is not removing the black color from the edge, adjust your angle until you are removing the black, that’s the optimal angle for that edge! You can keep applying the Sharpie until you develop the muscle memory for the angle and you are good to go! Just do the other steps that Justin mentioned to complete the process.
Good point for the high end knives. I learned that way as well
It is good to know thanks for the video. I personally have been sharpening my family and friends blades since middle school. Made quite a bit of money during college doing so.
The ceramic rod actually takes more off a knife than a butchers steel. Butchers steels are really just meant to realign the edge or "hone" the edge
Great vid Justin. Really was unlucky to have that knife bounce back that time you got cut. I suppose the caveat to having sharp knives is to throw them from a safe distance? 😄 Side note - never been a fan of ceramic "V" sharpeners. I've seen too many edges ruined by not minding the bevel. Case in point, my old Rapala fillet knife. I suspect it's a good marketing strategy to include those crappy sharpeners in knife sets. They ruin blades so that the misled buy more. 😆 Better get on those stone sharpening skills! Really can be quite meditative.
What is you opinion on mora knifes
Lfg that knife is razor sharp brother
Hey LFG, with the lack of accuracy with newly added broadpoints to your arrows, are you sure that the 'blades' of the point run parallel to the shaft of the arrow? That connection has to be incredibly accurate as the blades becomes wings on your arrow, a small deviation will produce a turn or raise/fall in your arrows flight path. Just a thought.
I got it dialed now!
👍
Benchmade has a free life sharp program. You can send to them anytime and they will sharpen it for free. I’ll agree that if you maintain them properly you shouldn’t have to sharpen ever. I prefer to strop mine on a regular basis and hardly ever put them to a stone.
Let’s see a live Q&A
How do you fix your tip if you break it off
Love you lfg
The goat
Does it matter what direction you actually draw on the stone?
I just use a cordless sander with different grits and leather it after.
Is this real
👍🤙
How are you LFG? how is your health now?
I would like to see you like or comment on your subscribers' comments down below. Return the favor, lol! We all love your videos, my dude!
Is that an AR 15 I spy? Lol nice
It's a hair stump splitter
Love these vids. Can you suggest a good all around EDC 3ish inch fixed blade? Looking for a carry I can also use to clean game, smaller camping chores and normal day to day. Seen decent reviews of Bradford Guardian 3 but would love suggestions.
I have a budget suggestion... The of grid knives all day fixie. Only a 2.25 inch blade, but it has a nice bit of belly, and has adequate handle room. Has all you would need for neck or belt carry with a kydex sheath and has great fit, finish, and factory edge. The budget is able to be achieved by using simple D2 steel which is my only major downside.
Don't have any other suggestions, but love my Guardian 3!
One of my favorites in that size class is LT Wright Small Northern Hunter. I'm a big fan of that Alaskan style blade for cleaning game but it's a good all around camp carry that isn't bulky at all. LT puts a good spine on for scraping as well
Weird coincidence I just found my sharpening stone today after looking for it for like 6 months.

let me know when you want me to make you a custom handmade knife.
This work space is arousing.
Careful!!! Don’t stab your self
You get more meat with fillet knife and you do the electric knife
Those knives are a dollar at the dollar store.
I watched someone sharping a knife on a car window. Have you tried that method?
I'm going to watch this, but if he cuts his leg off again I'm gonna stop watching his videos!
