nothing wrong with morakniv. They make great knives!

They do!

Yeah. Would still like a tacticool one though xD

Would also like to get a better sheath for the mora since its plastic one is cracking a bit

I mean for like $10 it’s totally worth it

Maybe 20 I don’t remember

About $17 when I bought it. Got the companion in high carbon

It's closer to $13 now, at least in some places I think

Probly the best ~$10 you can spend for survival stuff

Yeah haha

Pretty cool

anyone got a good recommendation for a whetstone/sharpener? Mine broke.. :/

Oof rip

Not exactly a recommendation but I use the Worksharp guided field sharpener. Not very big for sure but hey it works <:kek:731354627806593055>

Would like to get something bigger if I ever get the chance

thanks. Ye, i feel the same. my old stone was rather small to begin with, so i have always wanted a large table stone.

i also want to look at ceramic stones, cause my old one still left some big scratches that took forever to strop out, if I even felt like trying. <:KEK:795742276549607456>

Ceramic of whetstone, or ceramic over diamond? I heard diamond was usually recommended over whetstone for casual sharpening since they are generally more efficient I think; at least easier to use. Idk, that's what I've heard anyway

Im not necessarily looking for the most efficient thing, I'm just wanting to get a good fine-grit stone so that I can repair edges. idk what type of stone to get though and didnt even realize diamond was a thing. :\

How do ya'll feel about sharpening on a dry stone? I usually oil mine towards the end of the sharpening process, but I honestly am really lazy and tend to not oil in the beginning of a sharpening session. I just find it easier to clean the metal filings off a surface when its dry. Obviously, you hit a point where it only damages the blade/stone more than not, but do ya'll thing its acceptable to keep it dry for the initially reshaping strokes, or should it be avoided?

See, with diamond you don't have to wrry about that xD

You can wet diamond stones, but it usually doesn't make a big difference. You can use them dry without a problem

ooh nice. :)

just put a new edge on my ontario. its not perfect and the belly could use some more work, but the straight portion is low-key sharper than its ever been. I only had about an inch of stone too. <:KEK:795742276549607456>

I got an Ontario on my SAR gear

sar?

I use a diamond sharpener on it and have a small pocket sized field sharpener as well

Gives PD a break
