    My grand father from Cornwall, England had a pocket knife with him for all occasions I remember him using it to cut off pieces of chewing tobacco, peel apples , clean his pipe & making cuttings in the garden. Now I still have the same worn knife in my pocket. Always sharp but with much smaller blades. My grand children hope that one day it will go to one of them. Stay Safe. Thanks for the video. Brian 80

      IPostSwords best thing about my opined is the steel is not super hard, so goes from super sharp quite quickly BUT it's equally quick to bring back to razor sharp, meaning it doesn't feel like a chore so I actually regularly sharpen it

    I learned to be into sharping by being into cooking and food.
    You need to be able to keep your knifes incredibly sharp in order to have any sort of control and efficiency in the kitchen.
    I started with those V sharpeners that make the angle for you.
    Then bought two dubbed sided Japanese wet stones (incredibly expensive things, but an amazing investment that I’ll probably be able to use the rest of my life), and a few super cheap knifes from a second hand store and started practicing (gave the sharpened and restored knifes to my younger sister who just moved into her first apartment).
    For people who are not into sharpening, ask you local cooking specialty store if they do knife sharpening and if they would consider sharpening an outdoors knife.
    The sort of store where you can buy like a +150€ chef knifes from, doesn’t need to be too fancy. Many of them offer a knife sharpening service.
    Some have their own sharpening machines in the backroom or have a contact they send them too. You’ll probably get the knife back either right away or in a couple of days.
    Getting it sharpened isn’t too expensive, around like 6-12 euro per knife in my experience. But it adds up over time.
    So if you have a few nicer knifes with pretty rough and beat up knife edges, and you don’t have the knowledge or the energy to bring them back, then maybe it’s worth getting it professionally done like once or twice a year.
    I’ve bought back a few friends knifes that where just filled with deep jacks and nicks for practice, and even with a 240 grit stone it took a lot of work to get them out.
    In the future I might consider paying someone who has a machine that can cut that work into a few minutes pretty worth it.
