Old Hickory Utility knife
This is what I use, and I sharpen freehand with either a Norton 4" Crystolon combo stone or Norton 3" India combo stone.
For some reason I have been using the Crystolon more of late.
Old Hickory Utility gets used the least, I actually like using that Trapper and so tend to use it instead.
What I would use?
I am not really sure to be honest, not as far as current offerings.
What I had and would use include some old Case Cutlery, and some Custom made Cutlery.
I have had nice stuff, but after more than once of losing most everything, I just sorta have the memories , and sentimental value and just keep it simple.
Heck, I ain't gonna live forever, I have nobody to leave anything to, and who is to say I won't lose stuff again.
