Sharpening revisited
I just ordered one of Mr. Harsey's excellent T2 Rangers for all-around use. Having not set blade to whetstone in many years, I read the earlier threads on maintaining an edge.
Questions:
1. Are the DMT Diafolds still your favorite for field use, or has something better come along?
2. Has anyone tried DMT's Aligner model? Given that maintaining the correct angle is probably the hardest part of sharpening for the uninitiated, it looks pretty slick. http://www.dmtsharp.com/products/other.htm
Of course, it will probably be quite some time before my new knife needs sharpening, but I'm just thinking ahead.
