Question

Answer 1

At our house, we sharpen our pocket knives using the edge of a porcelain coffee cup. Porcelain is harder than glass coffee cups. But our favorite is to roll down a car window partway and use that top edge, drawing the knive from hilt to tip a few times holding it a bit sideways, then flipping over and doing the other side of the blade.

Answer 2

Try using the driveway or some kind of concrete surface. Sort of put it on an angle and drag it back and forth. You probably know what I mean. I sharpen my 5-in-one that way.

Answer 3

a sharpening stone is pretty cheap dude, a few bucks at best. If you have a blade shaper along with your kitchen knoives, that will align it. A shaper is a long, maybe a foot and a half, tapered rod with or without ridges that trues kitchen knives.

Answer 4

Old Indian / boyscout trick that works well.....

Take 2 fine, smooth, round stones , hold them together tightly & draw the blade between them (  away from yourself).

Add a little spit...also free.

Answer 5

Use a stone from outside, use a piece of a broken plate or cup, or a leather belt with oil.
