I got a Lansky Puck sharpening stone from Amazon the other day. It's intended for doing axe blades, lawnmower blades and tools. Basically a great big round pill shaped two sided stone (coarse and medium). I tried it on that big Bowie blade I made a few years ago, using it to shape the edge, and dang, that thing works! Very handy tool for $7.99.

Instructions say to move it in circular strokes, but I just did straight strokes along the edge. Works better than a file.

Re: Lansky Puck
My Scoutmaster had one of those. Very handy, easy to use, put a nice edge on our axes. I don't know how it happened, but his were noticeably dished from use on the axes, which made it kind of problematic for sharpening knives.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

Re: Lansky Puck
First stone I ever used was similar to that. Dad kept one in the kitchen (edges weren't beveled so dramatically).
