I am 90% certain Green River is E Goddards second brand.  Their 1st being Victory.  So same knives just have 2 brands to satisfy the market.  Action Outdoors would be the ones to talk to to confirm or deny this.

Green River made awesome carbon steel skinning knives......don't know if they still do.

I searched high and low, in March of this year, via the internet  in an attempt to get another Green river bull nose high carbon knife. I even emailed the sales manager at Goddard,  offering to pay to have one made.... but never received a response. It appeared to me they have moved out of the green river line and concentrate on the victory knives,which is a pity.

thanks guys

Dexter Russell have a Green River Brand of knives. I take it these are different to what you are looking for?

I've watched mouse pad and sand paper tutorials on YouTube, but just can't get the hang of it.

mouse pad.. thats like trying to sharpen a King Arturs  sword on a match box

It takes a bit of work  because you are going from a flat grind.. as in a stone to a round/ elliptical on the edge.
 Have a close look at the svord custom type knives.. the whole edge is convex not just the very edge.
 "The 'secret' is in the burr"
 basically you form a fine burr on the edge before turning to to the other side.. ALWAYS form the burr. Convex edge , if you start with about a 800 grit wet n dry sheet sand paper clipped to a sheet of reasonably firm neoprene type sponge.
 Wet the sand paper.
 Then if a working / boning knife hard steel  about a 30 deg angle and draw back, with a slight twist as come off the tip.. pull back (strop like as in a cut throught razor)..
light press ure around 20 times, feel for the burr forming .. burr formed , proceed to the othe side, the back
 Till you have formed the orginal flat ground edge into a fully formed convex edge.
 Now you are ready to actually put the fine edge on
 Same as above.. the 800 grit is very smooth by now.. or use 1200 or 1600 grit..
 except this time very little weight, 5 strops one side check for the burr, 5  other side check for burr.. now 4 and 4  then 3 and 3 then 2 and 2   then 10 alternating .. weight of the knife only.

When edge gets dull , and dont wait till actually dull.. 10 or 20 alternating strops ...

If want get real sharp.. which for general use is a waste of time, unless intend to have a shave.. a leather barbers strop with fine cutting grit worked in to the leather..

 PS if wanting to get that 1st ground angler right start with one of those draw thru sharpeners.. form the basic angle then proceed.
