Whetstone Knife Sharpening

December 28th, 2010 Comments off

Years ago I was Elk Hunting in Colorado. The friend we stayed and hunted with had this older three-stone whetstone. It sat in its own case that had oil in it. As you rotated the stones they coated with oil and you could move up the scale in terms of the fineness of the stones. It was a pretty slick tool (no pun intended) and it did a really nice job sharpening our knives.

Ive looked for one over the years and this is the closest Ive found to the one that Bob had. While it doesn’t rest in oil or rotate, its got three gauges of natural stones.

Hunting Gloves

I have a pair of gloves I swiped from one of my sons that I use for hunting now. We had gotten these Under Armour gloves for him for the football playoffs and somehow they ended up in my gear bag after that season ended. I like them for early hunts when there’s a bit of a chill in the air. I don’t have a link to a picture, but they are simple black ColdGear Gloves, 25 bucks or so.
