When I let my knives get real bad I use a oil stone. Never use a coarse but start with Med and go to fine. Then the final step is to use a old Barber's razor strap. Bet a lot of you guy never seen or heard of one of those. This usually will skin the hair off my arm. In the field I use a sharpening steel. The steel is only for touchup after cutting up somthing. Works for me.
