Interesting video. This would be ideal for some field sharpening. I like how you get the rough leather side for stropping too. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I have the DC4 and the CC4 from Falkniven, both are very useful, but my most used tool for sharpening is a ceramic rod I bought for £2 from Heinnie Haynes. It’s quite fine, so more for touching up an edge than resharpening but it works well and for the price is excellent.
@@MB_EDC The Vic sharpener is a better allrounder as it’s slightly coarser, the cheap rods do a good job of refining an edge. Worth using and for the price they’re hard to beat.
Yeah, I use a ceramic stone and strop to maintain my knives mostly. I'll only resharpen if they've had some intense use or completely lost their edge. It's a balancing act between keeping the knife sharp and safe and not removing too much material, too quick.
I stick to my diamond credit card double sided stone im not fan of ceramic sharpners your one seems still too thick for me I like to have light as possible tools 👍🐾🦊
Fair enough! I am sure that you know a lot more about sharpeners than me. I find the diamond sharpener on the DC3 a little harsh. Maybe I need to try a finer grit diamond sharpener?
@@MB_EDC 👍🐾🦊 yep I only touched strops but if edge is very blunt or damaged then I put on course stone then medium then strop . Experience is what I go by not hear say or proof is in pudding

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.....I like the Victorinox sharpener but that was £13!

@@SussexEDC Having just discovered stropping - I think it is amazing, less aggressive and my knives have never been sharper!
@@matthewjones6010 Now I’ve got my knives sharp. Stropping is keeping them sharp if they’ve only had light use.
I like it a lot. Great video.
Thanks.
