Crap

I inferred from your original post that you had hoped that letting your friend experience a decent knife for a few days would make him want to buy one of his own - did it work?
 
It did, but he won't be able to at this point due to him paying for me shipping this back to Kershaw and possibly throwing in a new Leek.
 
Bar none the quickest way to drop a fella is to shake his right hand with yours, then yank his hand to pull him into a left shovel hook to the liver. Keeps them from blocking, and you don't even have to step into the punch, they are doing the momentum work for you.

My brothers will testify to the validity of the aforementioned technique :)

In all seriousness, knives are meant to cut stuff. Some scuffing on the blade is bound to happen, but returning it with a damaged edge is in rather poor taste.

I'd sharpen it up, and like T said, just keep on beating it. My JYD is a trooper.
 
Hm, maybe instead of sending it off I'll just get some diamond rods for my sharpmaker. Those rebevel a knife fairly well, don't they?
 
Yes, the diamond rods will work well. I beat up my Cyclone and JYD II on a regular basis. Just put a new edge on and they will be glad to come back for hard use. Try taking it down to about 12-15 per side. It will be super sharp and still hold a strong edge. :)
 
If those marks are from your friend's attempt to sharpen it, then you need to teach him how to sharpen knives. :rolleyes:
 
I use a Sharpmaker, I guess he tried to use benchstones, I simply suggested he not try to sharpen any knives worth anything until he gets a lot better.

Heck yeah, however, you CANT use heavy pressure dude, it will trash the rods.

However, they rock for every steel, even ZDP and S60V.

Excellent $50 spent in my book, and you can DEFINITELY reprofile any steel with them.
 
Good to know. I don't have any knives with super hard steel (13c26 is about as hard as my knives are), but I'm assuming the sharpmaker will work for those, it'll just take a bit longer. I'm glad to know the diamond rods will reprofile my JYD without too much trouble.

Good point, Dann. The liver is often overlooked as a viable internal organ for inflicting pain and punishment! Most people head straight for the kidneys! :D

Yup, ya just gotta love Krav Maga...It's taught me how to beat people unconcious in a hurry.:D.
 
Bas is spot on. If you arent guarding your baby launchers more than anything else, youre gonna lose a street fight.

In regards to MMA, he's ok, but concerning real fights, its all about nerves, soft tissue, and using the environment to absolutely mangle the opponent.

He also busted Ken Shamrock's liver open.
 
Cung Le also broke Frank Shamrock's (the WORST sportsmans in MMA) forearm because he was stupid enough to block instead of moving.

Flop (pun intended) Shamrock sucks at life. I wouldn't fight much of anyone in that game but Id get in the ring with him...the only thing he brings to the the table is a false sense of security.
 
Keep the scratches (and that shiny new leek =D) and make it a beater. compensate for said scratches by giving it the most wicked, scary edge that is humanly imaginable.

I would punch that guy in his liver 'till he went unconscious and then when he woke up, I'd tell him to buy me a new JYD or that I'd give him a worse beat-down daily 'till he bought me a new JYD.

I'm serious about my property.

You make me LAUGH!!!! My friends always want to make fun of me for spending $300 bills on a pocket knife, but Im the first guy they come see when they want to borrow one or have some $5 piece of gas sation s#*t sharpened. I cant seem to get it through their head that its not going to pop hairs like S30V. Jackasses

Maybe Tom Krein could be of some assistance in that...
