My sharpening tools are.....
1. Smiths retractable rod
2. Smith's pocket pal 1
3. Lansky tactical sharpening rod
4. Cumi carborundum stone
5. Norton gaddi chhap oil stone
6. Sandpapers......

And planning to buy dan's arkansas tri hone sharpening system ........

1. Go-to System: Spyderco Tri-angle, with diamond, medium, and fine grits. Meant for the blades of which I do not want to spoil the edge angles, e.g. the Glock.

2. DIY blade new edge creation: Lansky with 5 grits (one for serrated edges, which I never use).

3. Touch ups on kitchen and EDC blades: Lansky blade medic handheld sharpener (looks exactly like Smith Pocket Pal, now who violated the IPRs???)

4. For the big blades: Carborundum stone. For the big ones (BK7, Khukris, & Bushman), axe, hatchet, machete, dao, etc. I also do the really big ones free-hand with the Lansky stones.

5. Further Touchup "in the field": I broke one of the Spyderco ceramic medium (grey) stones in half, so I have 2 spare halves (one in my EDC kit, 2nd in my GHB), and one spare full stone I use for free-hand touchups of EDC blades.

6. Cheap kitchen knives: Local made "V" sharpeners, purchased when I was not a member of IFG with it's awesome lineup of informative and helpful Brothers!

As I have a passion to collect utility knives, I need a good knife sharpener to make their edges when they become dull. I carry accusharp knife sharpener for sharpening my knife's blade.

Recently got an new Knife Sharpener and I hope that It will be enough to keep my knives shiny ever.
