I just bought an old vintage stiletto but its dull as hell. I’m wondering how to sharpen it correctly (without screwing up the blade). I have a regular kitchen knife sharpener but don’t know if I should use that. Any ideas?
No its like a long block with like a "V"shaped area to run the blade down.
I’ve had this knife (Meyerco Camp USA Blackie Collins 440 steel) for a while, and I’ve tried sharpening it with wet stones, ceramics, and a kitchen knife sharpener, with no luck. I’ve considered that maybe I’m just doing something wrong, but I have/had other knives with 440 blades and I’ve sharpened them easily. I know there are different types of 440, but should that make that much of a difference? It doesn’t say what type it is, just that it is. I also can’t find any information on the knife, since I don’t have a model name or number for it.
I bought this titanium dive knife and it isn’t very sharp and I’d like to get a nice edge on it. Can I use the knife sharpener in my kitchen knife block?
Sounds lame, I know, but I’ve had a fixed blade ‘survival knife’ for years, that by now has more or less completely lost its edge (its had intermittent light use). Its about 10 inches long and the blade is smooth, but very thick on the blunt side, which importantly makes the angle of the blade (in cross section) very large compared to say, a kitchen knife. The edge is intact but completely blunt, and using a steel has no appreciable effect.
Where can I get an appropriate sharpener?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a cheap and easy sharpener for my Buck 119 hunting/survival knife. I’m looking for something easy, like one of those kitchen knife sharpeners that have two little ceramic posts that make a V and you just slide the knife between the posts. They black isn’t nicked or rolled, so I’m really just looking for something to touch it up and keep it razor sharp.
Something similar to what’s on the right side of this thing http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3994288
Anyone know of anything like that?
I just bought an unsharpened dagger can I sharpen it with my kitchen knife sharpener?
I’m not sure of the spelling, but you get the idea. I have a little Ruko pocket knife that I take camping with me. The top part of the blade is normal smooth, but the bottom half is serrated. Would I sharpen it as a normal kitchen knife on a sharpening stone?
