Eka Swing Blade

[Deputy Dog 28]

The lad has got this knife, asking what's best sharpener for it? Bit posh for me like.

 

Lads? Cheers

[moxy 617]

Either a good steel or a stone

Stone all the way for me ........

For an EKA ??

 

 

Blade tech. It`s a simple working knife, a stone would take too long for me. and the grind doesn`t suit. Simple blade tech has it sharp in seconds.

I hate those blade techs and I enjoy working a blade on stone and finishing off with a honing stone ..........

Using it on deer means you need it sharp right when you want to use it.

 

I wouldn`t have the time or inclination to use a stone.

 

The Blade tec is definitely the best draw through sharpener I`ve used Socks. and at a tenner each I have a couple stashed about so I always have a sharp knife.

edge of the drivers window is handy for keeping a knife sharp

I have used a blade tech mate and they are great on a shitty little knife but I wouldn't use it on a real nice machined blade ........

I agree with socks , those blade tech thing take a lot of steel off the blade and leave the edge as rough as a badgers arse .if you keep good steel sharp a couple of strokes on a fine wet stone each side of the edge and strop on a leather belt ,, job done
