Hunting and Fishing in NJ

I found this video on YouTube.

This guy sharpens his knives with SAND PAPER on a hard, flat surface (he uses marble, I use a piece of heavy GLASS).

THIS WORKS INCREDIBLY WELL!

I've NEVER been good at sharpening knives without a "tool" like my Lansky which I still like, but this is REALLY cheap and SIMPLE.

Check it out.

Dude all you need is some wet-dry sand paper (start with standard 600 or 800 grit) and work up to 1000+ grit (higher = better). By the time you get to 2000 you get a mirror edge. It is crazy, just keep a constant angle. I only apply light pressure and only during the "slicing" stroke (pushing the blade edge into the paper as opposed to pulling it away) but both may work.

this works REALLY good on my Scandinavian Grind knives (i.e. Mora style blades) and is EASY to do (I can't sharpen worth a **** but this makes it easy for me... for some reason)

This guy has other videos too that describe in more detail, check them out.

Very cool.
