Knife Sharpening question...

broncobisley1 · September 25, 2005, 01:55

I'm looking for suggestions for knife sharpening tools, specifically for serrated edges, and gut hooks. I've just seen diamond rods for serrated edges, but have no idea which brand to get. Which ones do y'all prefer? Do they have different sizes or are they all pretty much tapered? I've got stones and leather (and a few other systems) that I use for the straight edges, but until recently I've never had serrated blades (now I have two). The gut hooks on my hunting knives don't need sharpening yet, but it would be nice to have the tools to do it when they need it. Thanks.

Smith & Wesson made/makes a diamond hone that is a very long cone. It works real well and is cheap. I got mine at Smoky Mountain Knive works. I think it was around 6 bucks. I know that is cheap but it works great.

That lanskey thing does seem to work pretty slick.
