Sharpen my pocket knife
 

This is the knife I have, the Buck Lighting II

It is one-third serrated.

How do I go about sharpening the blade and also the serrated part?

Get a Speedy Sharp. It's basically just a piece of carbide brazed to a piece of steel, sells for about 15 bucks, and with a little practice can restore a used and abused Schrade back to the shaving-sharp edge it had when I first got it.

Shapening serrations can be a pain, but it is doable.

Good old whetstone and honing oil. If you're really good, you can get it to the point that you can put the knife almost through a 2x4 with one stab.

For the serrated part, a circular file will do the trick. Go nice and slow at first, and make sure you're matching the angle of the blade.

A circular file isn't nearly fine enough for a blade. You can get stones designed specifically for serrated edges; check with your local knife or hunting shop.

A good whetstone and honing oil is a worthy investment.

Info found here .

I have a little stone shaped like triangular prism. I'm not sure of the manufacturer. It works alright, except on my teenie tiny serrations.

I think I've the same thing as Clavus. It's a <a href="http://www.weaponmasters.com/index.html?ID=9e37449eea33b5b086aafc0b7e0c15c7&SORT=&ITEM=WM-2362" target="_new">Multi Sharpener tool</a> that has 3 sides that you can sharpen your smaller knives with. You can use the edges to slide between the serrations. I just use the most narrow edge to sharpen the tiny serrations, and it seems to work fine. There's also a "trough" that you can sharpen points like darts or hooks.

I use the Spyderco Tri-angle Sharpmaker. Works better than anything else I've tried.
