I'll have to admit, I've never needed to sharpen one of my knives in the bush, but I still want to be prepared to do so if I have too. My sheath has a 3x1 stone pocket, which is plenty big enough, but what would be the perfect field stone? Currently I'm carrying a black ark, but quite often when we're sitting around the campfire my buddies will ask me to put an edge on their knife, and I'm pretty limited on what I can do with the ark. I'm thinking of making my own DMT 600/1200 combo which could be used with water or even dry in a pinch, and should give me enough range to bring back one of my buddies edges if it's not too far gone.
Curious to what you guys are carrying in the field?
