Pen knives; show them off.

I love Opinel knives, my favourite one I have is a ebony handled one with a stainless steel blade, I have a few other Opinel knives but the ebony one is a beautiful knife and as sharp as a razor! I will take a picture when the sun comes up!

That looks good, real good.
When a knife looks that good it doesn't matter if you need another one or not!

Is there an existing thread on what members use to sharpen their pocketknives. I'm frustrated with one of the Gerbers.

I use Shapton pros,320,1000 and 2000 and inbetween a proper sharpening session I maintain the edge on a piece of Welsh Blue slate,works well for me and I have a wide range of steels to sharpen Kitchen/fixed and folders

For maintaining my pocket knives including my small kitchen knives, I use a Lansky turn box, here are two short videos I made, I also use a more advanced system if I really want to achieve a specific bevel angle with a much higher grit finish, that my TSPROF system.

Lovely; for some reason I find Opinels really hard to sharpen, I guess due to the lack of bevel.

I have a Spyderco Sharpmaker, that seems to work well with mine.
