Knife Sharpening Gone Wrong with Deer Meat for Dinner

Don't worry, even the most seasoned professionals still cut themselves every now and then.

I will admit without hesitation that I've always had immense respect for people who can put a good edge on a knife. It's a skill that comes naturally to some; to others, it's an art perfected over time.

It happens to the best of us, Robert!

There is absolutely nothing worse than having a dull knife in your bag when you need it most. Have you ever been in the backcountry with a dull knife? Awful, isn't it? One of the best tools that I keep nearby on all trips is a mini sharpening stone (yes, it can even hook to a key chain). With literally a couple of hits on this diamond, your knife will be back to cutting shape in no time. Definitely a life saver when you're not home near a full-sized sharpening stone.
