Pocket Knife
HOW TO SHARPEN A POCKET KNIFE
1) Determine the type of sharpening stone you need to use. Sharpening stones are also refereed to as whetstones or water stones so keep that in mind. Most of the times if you buy sharpening stones it comes with the the different grades and you gradually work your way through each of them. Makority of them will have instructions of how long to soak the knife in water pryer to using it. Survival knives are especially important to keep very sharp.
2) If you are right handed, hold your knife in your right hand, left handed, hold your knife in your left hand and hold the stone in opposite hand as knife.
3) It is critical that you keep the entire blade on the stone the entire time you are sharpening it. Typically you want to hold it at about a 25-30 degree angle unless its been sharpened quite a bit and if that’s the case hold it about 45 degrees.
4) When you have it at the appropriate angle, you will want to begin rubbing it back and forth in smooth, fluid motions. As you do this you’ll see a “burr” start to show up. Once this happens you will want to flip it over and do the same thing on the other side.

Basic Do’s and Dont’s
Do’s

2) Keep in safe spot where kids won’t have access to them.
3) If it comes with a sheath, keep the sheath on it to avoid any injuries.
4) If there is a crack or it starts to break, discard it to avoid injury.

2) Don’t throw it in the dirt or rocks.
