Smith field stones are shaped like a tear drop so you have a corner like the spider co if you don’t want to spend that much.

Also the pocket sharpeners have a cone diamond rod specifically for serrations:

Or my personal preferred the pen style:

This is what I have and it's been great.

There may be a few on amazon, but stropman is well reguarded in this sub. Prices are very reasonable too. Personally I just asked a guy who made a sheath for me if he had any scrap leather, and glued a strip of it (backed with cardboard) to a piece of scrap wood. I also use stropping compound.

I don't actually have a sharpmaker, I have one of these. There's a little how-to video on the product page, and there are tons on youtube.

This one served me well until I got a sharpmaker, just don't use the carbide v.

Hi closetkid. Knife laws vary from district to district. To be on the safe side, you can carry a 3 inch folding knife everywhere in Arizona (minus schools and public places such as malls, a good rule of thumb, if there are kids, chances are you cannot carry any type of knife). Fixed blade should be 2.5 inches and has to be visible. Indian reservations have their own set of laws (4 inch blades seem to be the allowable length).

at the very high end of your price range, I would not recommend just a knife, but a knife + a sharpener. What good is a knife if you cannot sharpen; due to cardboard cutting, frequent sharpening is a must.


Really portable sharpener and cheap? get this: http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-PP1-Pocket-Multifunction-Sharpener/dp/B000O8OTNC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_1

For a more advanced sharpener, get this: http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-CCD4-Field-Sharpening-System/dp/B000N35D2E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_28

There are countless decent folders and fixed blades you can get around the $20-$30 dollar range. I'm a Spyderco fan for life, but you can get decent blades from other manufacturers. Just my 2 cents :)

A pull through knife sharpener is the worst thing you can use to sharpen a knife, especially a carbide sharpener. You should use something similar to this Smith's Field Sharpener or the Lansky Turnbox.

I've used stones on all my knives until I bought this on a whim. I don't use anything else now. It's a little small for anything over 8-10" but it's a fantastic sharpening system.

there are a lot of guides online to help you, but here's how I do it. Lubricate the stone with water. You want it wet to carry the microscopic filings away from the edge. Keep the knife at a constant angle to the stone. The shallower the angle, the finer the edge. The finer the edge, the quicker it dulls so there's a balance between sharp and durable. 20 degrees is the general consensus.

Move the knive forward and away, starting at the tang and ending on the point, while pretending you're trying to shave off a slice of the stone. Depending on how dull the blade is, you might end up doing this 20-30 times on one side. Every 5 strokes or so, feel the part of the edge that's facing away from the stone. You'll eventually feel a burr of metal starting to form. Check the other side, it should be smooth. When you have achieved smoothness on the entirety of one side, flip the knife over and repeat. Check every 5 strokes until you've got one side smooth and a burr on the other side. Start reducing the amount of strokes per side until you've completely shaved the burr off and both sides of the blade are smooth. Careful, you just made a razor sharp edge. I have more than one scar from accidentally running the blade across my knuckle while stroking against the stone.

TL:DR -- 20 times/side, flip repeat; 15 times/side, flip, repeat ... etc.
