How do you achieve the correct bevel angle when sharpening a bushcraft knife? This is a question I hear regularly. It's also something which people find hard to get 100% right when they first start sharpening.

In this video, I show how to sharpen a typical knife which is used for bushcraft - the Mora 840, "Clipper" or "Companion" knife - on a full-sized bench oilstone.

The stone used in the video is a standard Draper Tools combination oilstone. Stock No: 50820. For those enquiring about the grit of the stone, there is no specification either on the manufacturers website or on the product packaging. This is a basic, inexpensive stone which sells for around £7-£8 in the UK.

The focus of the video is on achieving the correct angle between the knife and the stone, along the entire bevel. By understanding how to achieve the correct bevel angle and maintain it through your sharpening strokes, this video will help you achieve a effective and consistent bushcraft knife sharpening.
