A good bit of seasoned hard wood is what we used to use didnt loose the edge or wear away the metal away either like a stone or a steel
Some people accuse me of thinking the world revolves around me, but it doesn't. It revolves around the Sun which shines out of my arse.

We use these on the boat and they fairly keep your knife sharp, even give the serated mending knives a few rub's and it sharpens them as well.

you said you never caught fish and that your faither mended your nets, out of the mooth of babes, only quoting you, or do you have undeclared landings you'd like to admit to? did you not see the official government figures? your share of the west coast quota is a third of a box of cod, two boxes of whiting and half a box of haddies, thats official!!!! you'd be landin the whiting roon and taking the haddies hame for rashers so the breed knife wid do for the six cod!!!

Just seen this one ,know it's years old, but this might help.My old dad was a shoemaker( not a cobbler). His knives were sharp enough to shave with . His secret - what he called his "whitty" board. A bit of 2" wide ,by 1" deep and approx 12" long( with a carved handle). He'd glue a bit of fine emery cloth to it and wear the surface till it shined. I've got it and it is far better than a steel (IMHO) for honing knives. Quick touch and the carving knife is fit for anything .
