What is up, everybody? We have 10 minutes to talk about how to sharpen a fixed blade knife.

Now, I've got esteemed colleague Ryan Muckiner to my right, good friend Brad Brooks from

our golly across from us right now, the fixed blade knife. One of the handiest tools you

can have in your arsenal, particularly if you're big game hunting, things like that, but

And I'd say, you know, first of all, best solution is like sharpening your knife before
