I'm on the hunt for a product for touching up my knives while out in the bush,figured you guys might have some suggestions.
Would be nice if it could also do little multitool scissors and serrated edges as well as broader edges like axes/shovels.

I have a spyderco doublestuff and a 5" diamond stone for mine, plus a small strop and sandpaper if I have a convex edge knife.

I like the Spyderco Doublestuff and Fallkniven stones. I often use the side of a leather boot heel to strop.

I have a Double Stuff , Spyderco Profiles ( fave. ) , several DMT Duofolds . I have also got a baggie of strops , and very fine wet or dry glued to a bit of scrap mousepad .
The last solution is great , as it's virtually a freebie .

Hey I like those little Spyderco double siders, That might just be what I'm after.
A boot heel eh? have to say I havn't heard that one before but I have gotten descent results with the underside of a coffee mug.
Thanks everyone.

I love my JewelStik Flipstick. It works great and is real compact.

If your knives have a good bevel sometimes all you might need is just the Leather Strop.

I really like the EZE-LAP credit card size, diamond coated, stones as well. Carry the 201 #600 grit for must uses, used it on knives,wood chisels, punch- down tool blades, etc. etc. Carry the stone in my abyss wallet.

Forgot the humble coffee mug sharpener as well, good article :

I have the DC3 - I think it's a tad small but still a useful bit of kit.

+1 Boot heel as mentioned, or take your belt off and use it.
