I carry a carbide sharpener and it works well for me. Really light, has a broadhead wrench built in, and only takes a couple strokes to touch up during some heavy lifting, AKA quartering.

I started carrying one of these replaceable blade knives. Works great and helps me reduce my pack weight by not carrying a sharpener at all. I just pack a couple of extra blades. I haven't needed the extras yet, but if I double up on hogs I may need them.

Carry 2 good knives and a diamond stone. No problem no matter how big it is.
