How do you sharpen knives in the field?

[huntingbaldguy]

I carry a Work Sharp Field Sharpener.

[PolarBear]

I like the Smiths brand diamond sharpener.  I had one for years and loved it.... I lost it last week in WY! Going to be looking for another

I used one to touch up my blades when skinning and quartering my daughter's buck today.  My cheap old Smith's has served me very well through many years and many critters.

 For field touch up it's just one of the simple little plastic crossed ceramics with a coarse and fine set of rods in it.

I carry 3 knives...

[Ghost Hunter]

I act like I don't have a knife and use my buddy's . that way my unopened Havilons stay clean .

Still trying to get that goat out of my Leatherman.

I've never found a need to. I have cleaned, quartered and skinned two elk with one shaving sharp knife with good steel. I do carry a Havalon just in case. It's just as light as a sharpener.

Havalon Piranta. I carry 6 or so blades with me. I did my whole deer from the field to the freezer with my Havalon. Took me about 3 blades but I was switching them sooner than I probably needed to. Don't pry with them and you'll be fine 99% of the time.
I do carry a Benchmade fixed blade just in case.

Dang I would have guessed you were carrying a Schrade Sharp Finger.

No sir. Those are in the safe.

Gee, how'd that happen?    who would use your Leatherman and not clean it after using it, that's just mean, just mean.

Sounds like that guy left his bone handled obsidian knife at home.

I've never sharpened a knife in the field. I usually carry two knives, so if one gets dull I switch to the other.

I always sharpen up all my knives at home before hunting season.

[Bigshooter]

Havalon, and never look back!    Although I keep a swingblade with me also..

 
Smartest thing I ever did was buy a Havalon.

[teanawayslayer]

I bought a cutco knife 3 years ago. Haven't needed a sharpener since I purchased it. Little spendy but worth it!

crock stick in the field.

The only reason I needed to touch up the blade in the field is it was my first caping job and I kept cutting too close to the skull.  That dulled my blade.  Next caping job a couple of years later I did with the same blade.
