how will this work with a hunting knike (Kershaw 1490 X)?

Should work just fine. I would use the American stone for that knife. I have used it on my folding knives.

Great ! Basically all U.S. knives have the same degree. Asian knives have a different degree. All my outdoor knives have been sharpened with this sharpener. Don't know why I haven't bought one earlier.

what is a ?knike? I would not hesitate to sharpen a cheap folding knife with the 1520. A free phone call could get you further advice from customer service at the Edgecraft Corporation [1-800-342-3255]. A 1520 is approx. 6X the cost of a 1490X

It is a "Wharncliffet" as to designate it to the current "knife lingo". However, an email to Kershaw would probably get the most "correct answer". I just ordered one and I am looking forward to see how it handles as working EDC knife. The Wharncliffe design was used by sailors from the 17th century to handle their everyday work at repairing rope, sails and the general duties upon a sailing ship.

How well does it work on pocket knives with less than a 3-inch blade? With much difficulty...that's for sure. I have a Buck 1" blade pocket knife that I keep on my key chain. I free hand to sharpen this blade without using the sharpening guide. I'm not as proficient as I'd like to be using the WSKTS-KO. Never the less, omitting the guide when sharpening this particular knife suffices for me. Good luck.

From what I could tell, by laying my S.A. on the one in the Wall Street Journal article it fits, for now. Dry measure my knife was 2.36, but I've had longer ones that would not make it. My saw blade is an rch from 3",sorryTSA(the stand around) people will be looking into how this will work out. But only in the USA at this time.You will not be "Boarding" over sea's, with a knife yet!

'Ello Joe: I have 2 ColdSteel knive SRK and Kobun. Both share the same concelex style sheaths. When you un snap the SRK you should have your thmb on the back/spine of the blade NOT THE EDGE!

Yes it will. I do the same. The top edge is uncomfortable. I wouldn't get this knife again for that very reason.

I have the kukri - not the magnum - so I can only speak to that point, but I think the Magnum is overkill. You will have more than enough reach and blade area with the regular kukri.

Yes. You may need a .99 adaptor for some of the blades but will fit just fine.

yes it will, have cut up one deer, cut the bones for my dogs, 3 pigs with this. Today I am butchering a sow and tomorrow I will process her using the saw. This saw is amazing, Makes my life so much easier. Had my husband put it together, since I have no idea of what the tension should be on this kind of blade. Best saw for the money. Wished it was bigger, but didn't want to spend 10K. good luck

I used a Tec-lok with some rubber spacers to adapt the fit. It's a little big for such a small knife, but it works. The holes line up fine. These are available from knife supply companies, about $13 to $14 bucks.I tried it once but needed the Tec-Lok for it's original knife so went back to neck carry.

Find both knives and compair the two hand guards. This sheath holds and locks the hand guard. Then the snaps are extra security. On my plate carrier I have cut the snaps and straps off. The sheath holds my K-BAR snug and tight. Hit a cabelas or bass pro to compair the two. GOOD LUCK! My advice it's only $20 to find out. Then only $80 to get you a K-BAR!

I don't have my mic. or the knife with me but the blade is right at 1/8 inch. The "lite Hunter" is a very good blade shape for general use (and for a hunting knife) but the handle is slippery when wet. You may want to look at the "Canadian belt knife" which has a very nice blade for hunting and a little better handle. I have used both under hunting conditions and I like the "Canadian" knife a little better. If you chose the "Lite hunter" you may want to consider putting skateboard tape in a few spots on the handle to make it more secure in your hand. Both knives are great for working on game and as a boning knife - thin but not flimsy. Both are great knives. Hope this helps - you can't go wrong with either.

I do not own the sheath in question because I returned it. I ordered it for a TruTemper single bit ax - 7" hawk with a 4 3/4" edge. The sheath was way too small.

It look's to me like a universal blade so I think it will work fine!!!It has slots for the bolt's and comes with the hardware!!! Oh and I am using one right now it will need to be Sharpened!!!!

Here is a photo I found online. http://www.lawenforcementgearaustralia.com.au/images/cache/Knife_Pouches/Knife_Pouches_Leather/Schrade/schrade_leather_knife_pouch_yuls2_2.600.jpgMine works well for me. I use it for an Ontario RAT1 knife, or a Wilson 47D magazine.

I don't hunt anymore so I can't tell you about skinning, etc. I carry it on my belt and use it when I trim horses feet, cut bale twine, leather, open sacks, etc. The blade shape works well for lots of things and the handle fits very nicely. The only thing I had to change was the sheath. It was way to floppy so I modified it and made it much more stable.

It will not work with small blade folders. The clamp is to big. Best to use a LANSKY system for folders, but the KME is perfect for mid to large size fixed blade knives.
