Cool What do you take with you?

A Lansky sharpening system is great for getting things sharp at home but what do you take with you when you have to hump all that stuff around all day? Many people have told me an elk will dull my knife quickly. What should I carry to get my knife sharp again without carrying something that's heavy?

Thank you, TJ

I take one of those ceramic sharpners made for bow hunters. Makes a sharp edge very quickly, and is light.

I just take a couple of knives. I have not had any problem though with my Randall knives staying sharp.
