I feel the need to buy a quality knife... what do you guys carry?

For the initial cut I use a gesswein ruby stone or a norton india stone and will finish with a soft Arkansas stone. For a quick touch up I use a pair of triangle cross section ceramic stones that are mounted at an angle in a base that you just run the knife down while alternating from one side to another, I believe that it was made by spyderco.

I just freshen up my spyderco with ceramic every week or two. It holds an awesome blade. Made from CPM s30v.

Another one for benchmade. I've had my benchmade 5000 for years.

What's the best sharpening method for HSS blades?

I recently bought a Wicked Edge and I'm in love with it. Probably the best guided sharpening system I have ever owned or used. It's a little pricey but well worth every penny if you sharpen a lot of knives.

Best knife sharpener I've ever had! Shaving sharp is never a problem!

Last piece of the puzzle...

Don't do it. Learn how to sharpen a blade the right way. The Lansky system does not give you the same edge across the length of the blade.

My Zero Tolerance 0350ST came the other day.. Feels damn good and it's nice and sharp. Cuts paper pretty easily and I've cut some scraps of rope like butter.

I'll put it to work when I head back out on my hitch next week.

I have a Buck and Kershaw. I picked up an Ontario RAT1 today. I will be ordering a Spyderco and Griptilian soon too. I will post photos and opinions later on. The Kershaw is a Cryo and honestly its just too f'n heavy for pocket carry on a daily basis. I'd also say the blade isn't any better than the Buck which has plastic side and is light as hell. The Ontario weighs in the middle. I just sharpened it to slice up paper easily. I'll carry it around a while and abuse it and report back. I'm kind of surprised no one here has mentioned Ontario because on the knife boards they get debated with spyderco and benchmade a lot from what I can tell. I know they make a lot of bayonets and knives for the military so they have to be serviceable. At $30ish dollars it seems like a good deal on the surface.

My pocket carry is a Spyderco,

It works well enough. I destroy pocket knives, so I don't carry anything too nice anymore.

I have this one, I use it for when Im working. I love it, for 35 bucks shipped you cant beat it

I currently have a Sebenza 21 in my pocket but throughout the week I'll carry Kershaws I get off the Snap-On truck. On the weekends I'll carry a fixed blade, one of my Chris Reeve's, Lion Steel, or a Spydie. I'm kind of a knife nut and have a pretty good size collection and usually buy at least one knife a month.

I really did lose a benchmade 9050t while I was in Africa.

I'm sure some bushman is putting it to good use.
