The Value of Good Hunting Knives • Nebraskaland Magazine
There is no other piece of equipment or utensil needed to perform as many tasks, in as many ways, under as many conditions, as the knife, especially in hunting. It can do everything from field dress and skin an animal in the field to cut cord and help spark a fire in a survival situation. …

I got in to knife making a few years back - really fun hobby. Some of my blades were actually pretty good, some were more like letter openers.
I would love that....I think?
It's more messy than it is hard
Only learned to make shanks when in the pen.
Forging a real knife would be fun, love the show.
A guy I worked with competed on the show but didn't win. He made me a two knife set in a single sheath to field dress deer. One with a rounded end to zipper open the cavity and not worry about puncturing the stomach and another that is perfect for getting inside the animal.
Nothing much to add but I've always been intrigued by the folklore surrounding Mr. Richtig since Clarkson was in my neck of the woods growing up.

I grew up near Clarkson and although the Richtig name is somehow familiar I didn’t about this. Pretty cool and thanks for posting.
Is there a trick to getting a super sharp edge? I can get my knives reasonably sharp but never like a razors edge. When trimming fat for jerky, my knife tears more than slices.
Several things could be at play, from the type of metal you're using, to proper heat treating, to edge geometry. That said, it's possible to put a razor edge on almost any type of metal, it just won't stay sharp and will roll/chip easily. How are you sharpening your blades? Getting that initial profile is key. You can do it with regular honing stones but it takes practice and time. The big box store electric sharpeners will generally not get the job done IMO. I started out using files and stones - got good results but I'm kinda lazy by nature. Ended up biting the bullet and getting a Ken Onion Knife and tool sharpener. They're a little pricey but also an outstanding piece of gear. You can knock out the correct initial edge angle with ease and put a razor's edge on a blade in no time. If you want to do surgery, get a leather strop and you'll be in business
I use it to keep all my cutting tools (including kitchen knives) sharp. If that isn't for you, get some quality honing stones (not the cheap crap) and keep your angle around 20 degrees. You'll likely need a coarse, medium, and fine stone.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried several methods. These are fairly pricey knives (at least by my standards) and technically I can send them back to the manufacturer for sharpening but I never do and I think now that I've tried to sharpen them myself they probably won't. I've tried stones, but I don't have the patience, and a commercial sharpener where you can set the proper angle. It's a manual pull action but helps me control the accuracy of the angle and it hones both sides at once. There's one section for honing and one for polishing. It's not bad but still not quite like new. I should probably get a strop which might actually fine tune the edge.
I have a Wusthov (or something like that) fillet knife that is really sharp which kind of set the standard for what I want from my other knives.
