Sharpening a Convex Edge in the Field

Viewer requested video on how to sharpen a convex knife edge in the field. It's not anything new, I use the technique of those who sharpen axes and hatchets. Take one small stone (natural or synthetic-it will depend upon how hard your knife edge is), hold this stone between forefinger and thumb and apply a rocking motion as seen in this video (it's subtle but watch closely). If you can not feel and or hear the sound of the edge of the knife grinding against the stone, then change your angle of the stone accordingly. My advice here is just common sense, don't let your knives become totally blunt if possible, otherwise this can be a lengthy process to get a good edge back, especially in the field. Ok I know that many of you that hunt are saying "rubbish, I just use a steel", I say, yes one can if already skilled with a steel, ie not bashing the blade.
