The old man puts the knives on the dry part of the wet and dry grinder he has on the workshop but doesn't give a good edge see lots of burrs and pits in it.

Still think if you are processing a whole beast in the field then a decent steel would work.
Buy a decent Arkansas whetstone [soft] and create an edge which you can then maintain with the steel.
What size knife you use will determine what you need to maintain the edge.
Are you using butchers knives for example ???

That brought back some memories TD (good & bad), used to work in Abattoirs & Boning rooms back in the day. Used many F.Dick knives & a steel the same as this one rubbed down with 1200 wet & dry to near a smooth finish.

Had a flat Victorinox steel as well. Couple of hits on it then a couple on the F.Dick. Could work the boning knives all day without having to put them on the stone.
