hey guys doing this William iris mass outdoors and I've received several requests by people to show how I sharpen my knives in the field and other to maintenance in the field not home this is going to be a part 1 video showing you field maintenance and then part two is going to be more of the bigger stuff that I keep it my home so obviously you're not going to want to pack you know these big huge stones if you're going to use Wes toes and things like that so there's options out there for tool maintenance like these small Arkansas stones and these are very packable obviously you see their kind of fragile actually doesn't drop this one and it broke still very serviceable no problem at all and this is a fine stone and this would be for later in the sharpening process of what i would do to get started is this this is a Smith diamond rod and what this is going to do is it's going to take all the micro bevels and it's going to flatten them out and that's how i would start working with my knives and what I mean by microbubbles if you look underneath of a microscope you'll see the edge of a knife isn't straight like this if you look underneath the microscope it looks like almost serrated it's like this and after use prolonged use those micro bubbles can get really straightened out like that and flat and that's what's dolling your knife and when you use a diamond you're just kicking those bevels straight just like that and that's what this is going to do so that's how I would start out usually getting those micro bevel straightened out and this is again very packable so that's when things get a little more dull than I would like I usually keep checking my knives periodically when I am working with them and if I feel the edge starting to give a little bit in the field I always keep my belt you can kind of get a shot I always keep my belt loaded with Rouge or polishing compound and then that way I could just kind of flip my belt out a little bit give a quick strop and that'll bring the edge back and that that's preferable you want to pay attention to your blades and when the edge starts to get a little dull that'll be just touch it up hone it with your your belt you want to make sure that you're honing your knife as much as possible you don't want to be sharpening your knife all the time because you're removing steel when you're sharpening your remove your steel when you're honing a little bit but way less than when you're actually sharpie so when things get really dull if I'm not paying attention or if it's raining like now and I'm getting pits in my blade things like that I will pack this this is just a little kit that I pack and it has some sand papers in it a 2000 grit sandpaper and a 2500 grit sandpaper that's going to take out all those rough spots or anything like that blemishes in the blade and then I'll carry this it's a 3000 grit pad and that just will polish things out get it looking nice the more polished your blade is the more flat the surfaces it's more apt not to rust and then i'll keep this little chap stick container full of burly bomb and that's what I treat my carbon steel knives with so you can see this little just this little tiny kit right here how packable all this is and this will keep my blades maintained throughout whatever I need plus my belt and this kit my knives are going to be maintained for weeks on end
