Gerber Deer Knife

[Richwon4]

I have a great fixed blade knife I use. Very stout blade rounds out on the end. I love it and have not had to sharpen it in 3 years. Many deer on it for myself and others. Afraid if I try to sharpen it I'll screw it up. I don't know the factory angles ect ect ect. What can I do to put a good edge back on it?

Run it on a butchers steel lightly. Then run it on a strop till it's good to go.

Try 7.62 he has a wicked edge system....

Yes, INGO member "7.62" can get your blade razor sharp. Also, I will be providing pick up service for those attending the gun & knife shows that I'm at. If you have a knife or knives that need sharpened, you can drop them off with me at the show and I'll get them to 7.62 since he lives close to me and he will perform his magic on them and will ship them back to you.

I have an old Gerber shorty I just put a new edge on with my Lansky I got from Brad.

The knife is sharper than it has every been since my dad gave it to me, I think a 40 degree angle is good for a deer knife, or 20 per side.
If you use a cleaver or something that you expect to chop bones with maybe a 50 or 25 per side would be better but i would guess your knife would use a 40.
