How to sharpen a knife

A whetting stone, oil, and patience.

what you plan to use it for? anwser follows.

Its a 4 dollar kitchen knife from walmart. I use to cut rays with an other baits it went dull after a couple months an i tried a few things to re sharpen it. But i just thought i would re place it with a new 1 when it goes dull.

i have a ginsu that i have been using for months now, it cuts right through anything. it seriously slices rays like butter and its never supposed to dull.

I forgot the name of it but anyways,k-mart & walmart sells a cheap but effective sharpener for around 4-5 bucks.Its a red plastic housing with 2 stones & is designed to strip the blade as you use it down the blade.Ive seen a few that dont use the stone but metal instead. It works for me & I normally put a hurting on a blade when & if I decide to harvest a shark. Got 2 of them in my box now

I think I may have one of those red things. If you get it out of the fishing isle at walmart. let me go dig my knife out of the trash before i open a new one.

lol! Dont give up so easily James..yes you are talking about the same sharpener that I am. It wont make the blade sharp enough to shave with,but it will refresh the edge just enough to keep going & get the job done

I was always having a hard time keeping my fishing knives sharp so this year i was at the Dania Marine Flea market and I invested $25 on a Mundial 12 inch diamond edge flat knife sharpener,,,,,,,,,this thing is wonderful and quick!!!
You get a sharp edge in no time.
It sharpens all my knives and never loses it's effectiveness and it's much faster then a sharpening stone.Those stones take time,a good technique,lots of practice,and patience.
