Knife Sharpener

I was butchering my deer tonight and my knife kept getting dull. It is a pretty high quality knife so i know it is because i suck at sharpening with a a wet stone. What does everyone use?

High quilty hunting knife I like those cheap looking plastic deals. It keep on just the edge. Stones you will drift a little even if your really good. What you get and size? Oh And Congrats!

My hunting knife isn't that great, but we got a nice set of kitchen knives a few years ago. I like a larger knife for this type of job (fits my gorilla hands better).

I shot a doe Sat morning. She was decent size, but didn't weigh her.

I have always used a sharpening steel. Actually, I have 2, one is course and the other is fine. It takes some skill, but when I am done, you can shave with it. The only real trick is holding the blade at a consistant 30 degree angle, or whatever angle your blade requires. http://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Detailed-Discussion-on-Knife-Sharpening-Angles-W28C60.aspx
